Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club

Good Read.Sonny spends his days whoring, fightin', partyin', and dealing drugs. A life he very much enjoys.I was surprised that the Angels were allowed to get away with full-on fistfighting the cops on regular basis though. They must have some very lax laws in the Calif / US. Where I live (not the US), if you assault a cop your going down for a few years. No ifs or buts. Repeat it and you can throw away the key. Nobody dares to hit a cop because the consequences are too severe. Saying that; Sonny does say that the cops enjoy rucking with the Angels, (taking their badges of before getting stuck in), so no harm done and everyone's happy.Informative book even though I'm not a biker.

V American - assumes an understanding of American geography and culture which UK person might not have (incl me) - bought it purely for interest value - unheard of opportunity to learn about a culture which is alien to me. Not particularly well written sometimes, talks a lot of technical stuff about motorbikes which I can't understand - would probably not recommend it as a purchase yet interesting for those like me with enquiring mind....glad I've read it anyway.....Squirrel 59 - Tues 27.5.14

it was ok, the last half of the book was better. I couldnt help thinking the first part of the book was 'and then we did...' and then we did...and then ...and just seemed the life of an angry young man who was a little hypocritical. The last part of the book was much better written and more interesting with a more balanced outlook on life. i much preferred some of the other books on bike clubs written by other authors. The undercover cops books seem to be a little more honest

Awesome book bought this after watching sons of anarchy.Follows the sons very closelyRecommend if you loved sons of anarchy
