Product Description
Product Description
Two names reigned supreme in London's underworld in the sixties - Ronnie and Reggie Kray; and it wasn't until 1969 that the twins went down at Brixton Prison for murder. I was only seventeen, on remand up in Risley, Warrington, for nicking a furniture lorry. Most of the lads in there had newspaper photos of the Krays stuck up on their cell walls. They were the cream of the criminal crop, and that's why I took such an interest in 'em. Once I was put away, it wasn't long before I got to meet them, and over the next 29 years I got closer to the Krays than any self-proclaimed henchman, any autograph hunter. As their trusted friend they let me in on it all - no holds barred behind bars! Since Ronnie and Reggie died, all I've heard is a load of bollocks! 'Reggie shot my cat; Ronnie stabbed my uncle Bert 75 times; Reggie ran over my hamster; I'm Ronnie's son, I'm Reggie's daughter.' Gutless maggots spreading rumours with their sham stories for sale. The shameless rats. Well now the twins are gone and I can talk. And let me tell you, I've got a lot to say and all the time in the world to say it. No bollocks. No silly stories. Just the facts about the time I spent doing porridge with the Krays.
About the Author
Charlie Bronson is a prison legend. His singular mind, quirky humour, peculiar beard (and acts of occasional violence) have made him a cult figure across the country. His books sell by the truckload. His original autobiography Bronson sold more than 150,000 hardbacks; this was followed up by Insanity: My Mad Life which did similarly well...

Bought this for my father who commented how good it was so I gave it a read, I must agree with the other reviewer this is an excellent book with many good insights. If you want to know more about the Krays or have an interest in this genre give it a go!

I thought this book would be good as Charles Bronson has spent so much time with The Krays, but in fact I found it boring and repetative. Charles claims the book will shock and amaze you, and is all about The Krays when in fact it's all about himself and all the other prisoners he met. What little info there is of The Krays is much of what we know already, that they were well respected, smartly dressed, only did good things unless provoked etc.etc. Charles goes on about other people blagging off The Krays name but that is what he has done, and it don't help with him constantly referring to his " other books you can buy ". If you are interested in Charles Bronson buy it. If your interested in The Krays buy a different book about The Krays.
