Customer Reviews

I actually read a book
If you like all the gangster films and books then this one's a good'un. Reading how he feels about all the stories you hear, like when he killed McVitie, is interesting and I've never read a book in my life!

Reg the Ultimate Gangster!
This has to be the best book I have ever read. Reg Kray talks about his early childhood, how he and Ron went to national service and refused to play by the rules. Born Fighter tells how Reg and Ron work there way up the crime ladder and bought Property after property in the Pub and club game. Reg goes into detail about the killings of George Cornell and Jack " The Hat" McVitie, aswell as other violent encounters. The book talks about the death of his wife Francis and how the Twins were sent down for the killings. Reg describes Prison life and how he handles it.
A great book any Kray or crime fan should get this NOW!

An excellent insight into the life of Reggie Kray
A natural writer. Reggie covers old ground in this book and describes the life and times in the east end back in the 60's. The reader gets a first hand account of how the Kray brothers lived their lives to the full up until their imprisonments. Reggie gives a clear insight into the prison life he has led for the past 30 years. It is obvious that he has touched the lives of many people. The only thing wrong with this book is that it isn't long enough, maybe there will be more to come...
