I thought the book was an excellent read and i enjoyed it alot and I recommened it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a happy ending. I thought it was a good book and would recommened it to anyone over the age of 15 years old. In someways it was similar to the films but there was some differences like with every book and film.

This film is so funny, especially the way Lt. Harris treats the recruits like dirt, but the best performance was given by Moses Hightower, the tall black florist who turns over the police msquad car when another cadet calls a woman a dumb fat ********* (too racist for me to say). BUY IT
