Great read

This is a really interesting book on the crime scene based on true events from a "supergrass". A great author who tells the story of drugs and violence in a way that I could not put the book down. Not only a great read but an education in some of the biggest crimelords / drug dealers in the UK's past. Get it!

Hypocritical Claptrap.
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2
This dodgy Scouse geezer wants us to believe he turned his back on crime because of the drugs trade which apparently was causing a lot more hurt to people than his own method of dealing with rivals, grasses, enemies etc. It's ok for him to mete out extreme ultra violence to all and sundry and to make money off the back of it, but drugs are really bad. What a hypocrite. He even admits to smoking cannabis himself.

A Gripping Read
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
One of the best true crime books ive read, so much so i felt i had to review it. Undoubtedly Paul Grimes was a proper villain back in the day - his exploits with the 'Hole in the Wall gang' tell all. He turned his back on crime and became what every criminal says they despise - a grass or in Pauls case - a supergrass because of his stance against the drugs trade. Fair play, he had it all and lost it all - and his rise and fall is well documented in this book. Its an honest reflection of his life and its all true unlike a lot of other so called villains and hardmen who spout absolute boll***s throughout their pages. And with regard to the review that says about him giving curtis warren a good slap and him being young - thats real life, you want to be a standover man and live in that world be prepared for the consequences. I recommend bernard o'mahoneys wannabe in my gang for another good read on the pitfalls and realities of the drug trade, maybe then you can appreciate that what grimes did was perhaps save a few lives -if only for a short while.

Great read

Paul Grimes's story of how he turned suoergrass after the death of his son from drugs is a cracking read. He charts his rise in the Liverpool underworld and then his fall, when he does a deal with Customs. Next to From Gangland to Promised Land and Essex Boys it's the best book I've read this year.

What a book!

A great read from start to finish. At the end of it you kind of feel a bit sorry for him in a strange way. No one likes a grass do they but you can see it from his side of the story. He was just trying to do what he saw as right. Although through his criminal life he was a bully and a theif and beat many people as they says what goes around comes around. He got what was coming to him - NOTHING. He could of been sitting on millions now he has nothing, I would not like to be in his shoes today. What they all got up to was amazing,but all of them have paid either with their lives or with prison.
