I thought the book portrayed an honest and accurate account of the Police force. Robert described his life in great detail and some elements of his work in particular were difficult to read. It is unflinching but authentic. I enjoyed it.

While this memoir is no different from other similar ones, the writing is gripping and the author shows you every part of police life you could want to see.

I think this was a largely enjoyable read, and I found the more horrific parts well told with excellent depth.

An enjoyable if not at times traumatic look back at the authors career in the Police force and various situations he saw and handled and at times the toll it took on him and his personal life
It was told in a very’ ‘real’ way and you could feel the emotion in the writing
Lots of books about ex Police etc at the moment but this stands out for me because of the writing

This was such a real and raw account of some of the instances that the author saw in his time as a serving Police Officer. At times I had my heart in my mouth so I can't even imagine what it was like in real time. Very readable and definitely one that I would not only recommend but would read again myself

This was a good policing book written by a former cop in England. Once he got on the force he became restless with what he was doing, and kept trying other areas of it, looking for what would fulfill him. His unsatisfying marriage added to things, and eventually he knew he had to make some serious changes. It also goes into the effect of accumulated trauma from seeing countless shocking events during his career, and how it had to be dealt with eventually.

I received a free copy of, No Man is Just a Number, by Robert Clarke, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Robert started his career as a police officer in the 90's. This is an interesting book, about a cop in Britain, and the many criminals and victims he met.
