This man is truly fascinating. It's a book of mixed emotions. He has done some horrific things to others during his life but there are also parts where you respect him and even feel a little sorry for him. He is very up front with the pain he has caused others and the acts he has committed. You also learn to recognise the effects the justice system has on a person and imagine yourself in the same circumstances. It still leaves the question whether he is a bad man or a mad man.

Crazy guy but so normal too.

Read half of this but it got incredibly repetitive with no insights or introspection so called it quits.

A great read I'll have to track down the film now as well, although the film can't contain half the things that have happened to Bronson.
It's a shame Bronson never managed to stay out on the few occasions he was released but the prison service created what he has become and now don't know what to do with him.

I could not put this down! Despite it being a large hardback at the time!

Charles Bronson is said to be one of Britain's most dangerous convicts. Charles clearly blames the prison system for his current state f mind and such. For me it was thought provoking as I worked as a prison officer for sometime and to see it from a prisoner perception was interesting.

Whether or not it is all factual or partly in the twisted mind of a condemned man is purely reader perception and open to speculation.
