Summary: Most Successful Bounty Hunter in the US
Comment: Ok folks, I'm gonna try and deal with several reviews of this books as I give my opinion. Why? Because stupidity cannot be corrected, but ignorance can.
This book is -not- meant as a "How To" for being a Bail Enforcement Agent, hereafter referred to as a bounty hunter. If you want a step-by-step on how to be a bounty hunter, find another book, because this one is not it.
I, personally, did not see the book as a forum for Mr Armstrong to "push or peddle" his religious perspective. I suppose some could view it as that, but then they, in my opinion, need to come to grips with their own religious dogma.
Now, let's talk about the book and leave the pedantry aside.
The reading level is of a somewhat lower angle than many might be used to, I would compare it to that of a magazine that attempts to appeal to both teens and adults. It is an easy read and you will not be digging through a dictionary, which, I believe, is the entire point. Mr Armstrong makes no bones about his background and is attempting, perhaps, to have a book out there that many urban youths can read. And if you want to go around with me that the reading skills of kids today has deteriorated, take a number.
The stories are the best part of the book. Very true. But you also should not ignore the deeper parts. I do not like any religious angle, yet I got through this book. So forget about those condemnations. Mr Armstrong has created a religious amalgamation, largely influenced by Ancient Egyptian ideals. There are concepts of Shinto and Buddhist thoughts as well.
The basic idea is there for bounty hunters as well. And while I am not a bounty hunter by trade, I have done what I refer to as skip tracing in the past, using a computer. The big pattern is observation and psychology, both of which pop up again and again in the book.
My biggest disagreement with the book and, I would suppose, Mr Armstrong is that I do not see eye-to-eye with him about the inherent goodness of the human being. As well, I do tend to meet force, or the possibility of force, with overwhelming force.
Final say, from me, is that the book is good and has a multi-cultural appeal. He does not proselytize, nor does he come across as overbearing in any other manner. I think he'd be someone good to have a "sit down" with and talk about things over a picnic table...well, ok, I'd have a beer, but I'd supply him with an orange juice.

Summary: Be for real,,,,,,,
Comment: I found this book hard to believe. He makes the capture of some of the most hardened criminals seem simply too easy. This book will go over well with anyone not willing to question some of the stories that he is pushing.
Joshua does an oversimplistic job of explaining all of societies problem. He never really goes into detail about solving any of them.... just keeps complaining about how noone is willing to evolve to stellar manhood.
He also does a not so subtle job of pushing ancient egyptian philosophy or some would say occultic practices. Whatever helps him to do his job....It's a nice read but don't take it too seriously.
The book will make for a good movie because most of it is pretty far-fetched.
