Book review - "No Beast So Fierce" by Eddie Bunker

 Brilliant. Had heard good things - lived up to the hype. Awesome realism mixed in with flowery prose - but maybe that's how they think. Part one is a crook trying to go straight. The constant tension of a relapse. He relapses then part two is crime. This is all good but paddling. Then a robbery goes horrendously wrong and it's part three life or death fleeing. This is amazing. Can see why it's been so influential on Tarantino, Mann, etc.
