À propos de cet audio
Craig Glazer was an ordinary college student when he planned and successfully executed his first fake sting to get back at some drug dealers who had robbed him. The rush he got from the experience led him and a crew of 11 accomplices to mastermind a two-year, 33-sting spree that stretched coast to coast, posing as everything from local police to IRS agents and hotel managers.
Glazer and Donald Woodbeck, his partner in crime, sniffed out some of the most sought-after drug lords in the country for the FBI and DEA like bloodhounds. For a while, the plan worked—until Craig’s world came crashing down.

Should Have Hired A Better Ghostwriter
Craig Glazer's story of "freelance" rip-offs of dangerous Drug Dealers & Gangsters is *incredible*. The man's sang-froid is beyond anything that I've ever heard of.. making deep undercover officers look like pussies. It's no wonder that book publishers optioned his story.
Unfortunately, his incredibly capacious ego is glaring - borderline narcissistic. His opinion of himself is so expansive that it makes the narrative feel fictional (it sounds distinctly like exaggeration). Reporter/writer Sal Manna - hired to help write the project - does an "adequate" job translating the story into a passable book.. with creditable vocabulary & prose, decent pacing, and a great feel for where to follow chronology and where to inject commentary.. but has a striking inability to make Glazer relatable (and has a persistently staccato style). Skyhorse Publishing editors dropped the ball on this one.
Contributing to my unfavorable impression of this book is the lax production standards. Robin Bloodworth does an "average" job reading - with creditable diction, timbre, cadence, and tone - but with a plodding reading rate (listen at 1.15X ), frequent lip smacking (avoid earbuds), and poor quality voice-acting (eyerollingly overdramatic).
On top of that, Audible Originals Inc. do little to match re-recorded sentences to the main recording (spliced in segments stand out like a sore thumb) and leave the dry-mouth sounds untouched.
Taken altogether, 'The King Of Sting' rates a mere 3.5 stars out of 10. Even when offered for free, this lazily-recorded self-congralulatory book is not great. Stick to 'Blow', 'Serpico', or 'Donnie Brasco'.

Talk about narcissism!
Craig is very out of touch with reality. His entire life is viewed as if he is in the movies and he doesn't seem to appreciate that he simply is a person who messed with the drug world and got caught. He views it all as justifiable because he was being a vigilante. I find it beyond credibility that law enforcement would give him a badge at the age of twenty with no training just because he had managed to evade charges on drug stings. Really? I was annoyed with him by the end of the book.

I’m sorry but Glazer is the most unlikeable person I can image
Hate giving poor reviews but this book or rather this main character is everything I hate in a person
Even when Glazer himself tries to sell it
