When people hear that one of the books I'm currently reading is "The Secrets of the FBI" they are surprised and wonder why on earth I decided to pick up that book out of all the stereotypical teenage girl loves stories available on the bookshelves. Well I am here to change that stereotype by saying that I am very interesting in the FBI and things similar to it. I love high intensity action shows such as "24," and I dream of a chance to actually work for the FBI. My mom saw this book one day in the store and brought it home, knowing I would enjoy it. I love the thought of knowing things that other people don't know, and this book provides me with that. It also depicts what life is really like as an employee of the FBI.
The first few chapters of the book describe a little-known part of the FBI called TacOps, short for Tactical Operations. The people that work as a part of this undercover team are in essence professional burglars. Under court authority, they are instructed to stage real-life break-ins to gain information from the enemy. They break-in anywhere from a personal home to a national building in China or India. The book describes the extreme planning and precautionary steps they take to successfully complete the housebreak. If they fail, it could result in death, so they must be particularly careful and attentive to details.
Although the FBI's work is a serious topic, the book makes sure to include humorous asides and stories of real missions to keep the reader entertained. I can't wait to keep learning more "secrets" as I read this book.
