Customer Reviews

More Entertaining than I ever imagined!

If you can make it past the boring first chapter, which describes Mr. Cahill's race for election to the office, then you will thouroughly enjoy the rest of the book, which details very funny experiences regarding the unique career of caring for/rehabilitating the incarcerated. Because I enjoy Mr. Cahill's books of New England hisory and folklore, I will read anything he publishes. I dreaded reading the WAYWARD SHERIFFS for two years before I finally decided to begin it, fearing I would be disappointed because of my lack of interest in law enforcement. What I found instead was a very compelling group of tales about individuals approaching a thanklessjob in a very humorous fashion with little support from lawmakers or taxpayers. I believe that the only way you'll now find this book is through the "Old Salt Box Publishing Co" website, but if you are a fan of Mr. Cahill's local histories, I would strongly suggest you grab this book as well while you have the chance!
