Thanks Net Galley

Brother, a biker, a boxer, a fighter, just try to keep up as you read and remember it is all true!

Fantastic!

I LOVE reading books about lives so different than mine that they actually make me fear for the protagonist. A hell of a life to lead!  But at least You get to say it was a life that was "lived"!  Stories for the grandkids I can't even imagine.  In my classroom, I would love to talk about gangs and motorcycles, but there don't seem to be motorcycle hands here just yet. We have seen motorcycle meet-ups where 60-75 of them drive together down here, but I have no idea if it could be considered an outlaw gang. To many neon vacation shirts for that, I think (too hot for leather here- hell, I'm a goth who can't wear black or makeup... I guess they could have been a motorcycle gang adjusting to the weather. I have to do the same!) 

There is a gang problem here and the rival gang from over the border fights with the port city's gang and then they threaten to blew up the annual festival to keep control of the ducks fit drug shipments - and guns, etc.... It's no joke. 

We are at the crossroads- a bottleneck- of cocaine and marijuana growing farms are all around us. You have to be careful. People turn on you. It's never too early to learn about gangs, the psychology - the allure.... 6th grade is enough, just get a bike and join us. Here drop off this package for me... Next thing you know you are a drug dealer who could get thrown in prison for 7 years.

As a teacher there are many opportunities to use this, but On a personal level, I also found it fascinating and would like to thank the author and publisher for the ARC. I'm sorry my review is a little late. Life goes too fast these days...

Believe it or not, I have had- and continue to have- a Hard Life. I'm a tough chick but I am suffering. Someday maybe you can review my book.  Different scary stories.   But I relate. I know what it's like even thigh i have ridden on a motorcycle once in life.  Anyway- I really liked the book is what I've been trying to say.  Sorry my auto correct forced the revisions to the review. I'm glad I checked it!

OK, THIS WERE INTERESTING, I LOVE MOTORCYCLE BUT WERE I CAME THERE'S NO MOTORCYCLE CLUBS, JUST PEOPLE WHO BUYS HER BIKE AND TAKE THE ROAD, SO THIS ONE SHOW A LITTLE ABOUT THE AUTOR, NOT JUST LIKE A BIKER BUT ALL HIS LIFE

I was given an ARC of this ebook to review by Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada. My thanks to them and to the author, Peter Edwards. 

I got little sleep while reading this book about Bernie Guindon and his wild life. He wore a lot of hats during his life and has been a great friend to many people. He was a son, a brother, a biker, a boxer, a fighter, a lover, a husband more than once. He's most well known as the now retired leader of what was at one time the biggest Canadian biker club, Satan's Choice and for his boxing skills in the ring and out. I found this a very entertaining look at him and his club, and how they fared through the years against the American clubs like the Outlaws and the Hell's Angels when the American clubs wanted to expand and things got violent between all the clubs. I've always enjoyed biker books, regardless of what country they were based in. This rates right up there with my favorite biker books.

I enjoyed this book, it was well written and well researched.

This was an incredibly interesting look in to the life of Bernie Guindon. There were many things about his life mentioned in here that you wouldn't learn anywhere else. I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested in true crime or an inside look in to bike clubs.
