The Legend That Is.... Chopper
a great insight into the life of mark brandon read and the events of his career. he tells of all of those he knows in detail and also all the good and bad that happened to him during his career. this is a good read with some funny little poems at the end of each chapter. i also recommend watching the movie "Chopper" starring Eric Bana as Mark, its a good one!!

he is funny , an a little scary too
his first book in my opinion is a must read,
this however is very samey.
still a great book and a great insight into MBR ,
this guy is a real tough guy , this is real , it isnt fairy stories.
if you enjoyed the first book id give this a go too , but i cant advise anyone to read the rest of choppers books as he repeats himself,
still a great read ,

booooring!!!!
Another idiotic book by a small time thug playing it bigtime and in the process belitling such crime institutions as the mafia. OK I admit that if half of what he writes is true, then I wouldnt want to cross him. But he comes out in the end as a simplistic (in his world view) rightwing tough guy thinking muscle power is what makes the world go round.
