Bit of a follow on from a thread on the main board. Ive just finished reading The Guv'nor and wanted to know what others thought of it and of Lenny Mclean.
Just to kick off I enjoyed it greatly. Im sure plenty of it was laid on a bit thick and it did get a bit predictable reading how someone else was always to blame for the things that he chose to do.
Anyone?
We really need a book club.

yeh its a sweet read no doubt, but lenny was a right showman and some of the facts he mentions conflict with those of other gangland members, which is a bit of a shame so i jus read it for what it is and took it for the great read that it was.

we did have one, a grand idea but we never got past the first book. It's the last time I pick the bible for a book club choice.
I've read a few boxing books, Facing Ali, Falling hard, Unlicensed, the biggest fight...
Good stuff. Unlicensed has a bit about the Guv'nor in it... as you say he seems reluctant to take any responsibility for anything.
Do the raunchy articles in my Favorite Porn magazine count for joining the book club??? ;D LOL!
Well, that would be a good excuse for only looking at the pictures!
I've read it. Can't remember much apart from the fact I liked it...and he loved his mum goddamit :'(
