The CSI book is little bit easier reading than expected. I was pleasently suprised when the book referenced Grissom and other instances in the Tv Show. The book does a really good job at understanding that the reader is not knowlegeable, it breaks down all elements of a crime scene and how the elements are handled. It even goes and breaks down what happens as early as the telephone call that reports the crime. It defined criminalistics as the application of science to physical evidence suchas blood stains dna or bullet trajectories. The book details aspects such as evidence and obtaining evidence through warrents "no knock" warrents and explains why and how you get such warrents. THe book breaks down virtually every kit that a CSI would need in most situations. Bullet trajectory kits, fingerprint kit, sexual assualt kit and numerous other kits. A CSI agent needs to not only be well versed in the application of all of these kits but also must maintain the kit itself and refill them with the nessicary tools.
