5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT, 16 Jan 2007
This review is from: Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off: The Autobiography of Dave Courtney (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved it - a great read - a page-turner.
This book is right up there with The Face by Garry Bushell and Till Death Us Do Part by Garry Jackson.
It is great on many levels.
Dramatic, funny and violent - more entertaining then a decade of Eastenders...

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT AND MORE, 11 May 2007
This review is from: Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off: The Autobiography of Dave Courtney (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is funnier than a bus load of comedians and the best book I have read in a decade - apart from TILL DEATH US DO PART by Garry Jackson.
Mr Courtney is the best story-teller since Charles Dickens and this book would make a fantastic film.
I can just see Ray Winstone as Dodgy Dave.
I have met Mr Courtney and believe me he is one of the GOOD GUYS - this book is a five star thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive Stories, 11 Dec 2007
This review is from: Stop the Ride, I Want to Get Off: The Autobiography of Dave Courtney (Mass Market Paperback)
You pick this up and you cant stop reading it - you read it once and a few months later you read it again.
Dave Courtney is the best storyteller since Chaucer / Walt Disney and Garry Bushell.
The A to Z of crime knows all the chaps and has a story about them all...worth buying if only for the KRAY funeral...as that is the highlight of this fantastic book.
It is MINDER meets Crime Incorparated...Dodgy Dave is brilliant combination of Arthur Daley and Al Capone.
I have met him - I have shook his hand - and speaking as I find "He is a top bloke"
I rate him and my kids love him - and all you out there will love this book.
