Product Description

Review
'Sends a shiver down the spine' Mail on Sunday 'The original smoking barrel' The Observer 'Be sure to buy your own copy. We wouldn't want to upset him now, would we?' Daily Mail

Product Description
In "Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off", Dave Courtney wrote about his life of crime and how he had decided to put that all behind him, and move into the world of the media. This proved harder that he thought, as he details in this book. For Dave faces a fierce test as he is accused by a corrupt policeman of being a grass, and although the court case ends up with the Dave going free, (and the policeman in jail), nevertheless Dave's reputation needs defending. So he defends it here - telling the world about what really goes on, both in court (dressed as a jester, and punching out the corrupt officer, for starters) and out of it - gunfights in Tenerife, porn films in LA, taking his own movie, "Hell to Pay", to the Cannes film festival, and getting caught in gang warfare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride? More like a rollercoaster!, 17 Oct 2002
By Mr. R. Ellor "Roy Ellor" (Salford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I would normally expect a second volume of an autobiography to be somewhat paler than the first. Not this time. From Page One, Dave catapults you into a gripping story of bent coppers, media hype and his new found celebrity status.

Many similar books fail on account of there being not much original material left to cover. Here Dave tells a completely new account of his recent 100mph life, and the court case that could have seen him take a bullet in the head from associates had the charge of police informer been made to stick. From that we scream into Cannes, films and longhaul flights! Not once does this book sag, and Dave Courtney certainly lives up to and exceeds the promise of the three earlier books.

Dave is developing a trademark style to his writings; an ability to retain his ways of thinking and speaking but with a much more polished style and flow to his storytelling.

Another cracking read from Dodgy dave.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Rubbish, 7 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Poor - drones on AND on about the Bent copper scenario and such, which I found boring. ALso, Stop The Ride covers the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE FIRST WAS THE BEST, BUT THIS IS NEARLY AS GOOD, 30 Jan 2006
By CRAZY GIRL (Brsitol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ride's Back on (Paperback)
I do not offer praise easily, not when it comes to book reviews. Mr Courtney has a problem, he has to straddle the old world of gangsters and the new face of street cred he chases so fervently. Obviously, a nicer killer you could not find and in Mr Courtney's own words he is "One flash bastard."

Media battles and bent police officers figure high in this book, but I have a strange feeling that I have heard it all before, but not so well put. Don't all or most gangsters have an axe to grind whn it comes to the law, Mr Courtney is no different. Although he makes it work for him by use of funny expletives.

Better he is stuck at home writing books than raging turf wars and the likes, the new face of crime ... Mr Courtney.
