Roy Snell has in some ways beaten the odds. From a turbulent childhood and little education. He has at times lived by the sword, although his choice of weapon were his fists. He has at times been out of control violent, a drug addict, doting father and loving husband. Emerging to a successful world of bodyguarding and personal protection, a world where his honest approach, charm and ability, had him routinely rubbing shoulders with the leading lights of the entertainment industry.
The story of his life is riveting, the writing style is simple and effective, wasting no words on anything other than the story. It is a great insight into the life of a hard man and of the bodyguards world. I have only one criticism. As with many of these True Crime/Biographies, it is all about the ride. In just under 300 pages we have a major slice of a man's life packaged in a rollercoaster experience, but come the end we feel like something is missing. It is almost like a man's life has been distilled to the action highlights and we have missed the most important detail along the way, the detail of the person themselves. For want of a better expression, it doesn't have soul.
Maybe I am just getting soft. I highly recommended read never the less, especially if a bodyguard's lot is of interest to you.

Snell has produced a great book full of a good selection of stories but his life is so intriguing that it makes you want to hear more.

What a breathe of fresh air this book was, a nice guy loving family man and connected to all the world stars as one of the best in the business...If a star needed protecting in the uk ROY SNELL was the man they contacted. I was very touched by the part with the jordanian royal family at the hospital it was a nice touch the king doing what he did with his prayer beads knowing muslim culture as i do i can imagine the meaning behind such a gesture and it choked me up reading what roy had written (coming from such a big powerful man like roy to hear him write such emotional words made the book for me) it not just showed what a hard man he was it also showed a different side to him a, a caring and lovely man. I was also touched by the heart attack incident (if you want to know more then buy the book)....
10/10 book fantastic book great guy...
