5.0 out of 5 stars A horrifying account of one mans living nightmare, 9 Aug 2000
By Darren Ibson (Chelmsford, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison (Paperback)
Warren Fellows, a convicted drug dealer, suffered at the hands of inmates, guards and the appalling conditions inside the notorious Bang Kwang gaol in Bangkok. Although no doubt guilty, Fellows suffered unimaginable horrors which would surely test the most hardened criminal mind. His ordeal can only be described as a living nightmare including beatings, malnutrition, disease and the onset of madness.

On Reading this, you can only begin to imagine the humiliation and suffering a human being is capable of inflicting on another. A must read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Although a free man now his mind will be imprisoned forever., 20 Oct 2004
This review is from: The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison (Paperback)
I'm no fan of reading, in fact I've only read a couple of book ever.. But now I understand what people mean when they say 'I just couldn't put the book down'.
This book was fantastic, what Warren has experienced in his life most of us will hopefully never. Make no mistake this guy is guilty of his crime but the punishment is a complete nightmare!
Although a free man now his mind will be imprisoned forever..
& if your planning a trip to Thailand it might be worth reading on your return not before you go.. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Cover to cover in a day!, 23 Jun 2004
This review is from: The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison (Paperback)
I could not put this book down, my life totally stopped for a day. There is not one single other book on this planet that has effected me as much as "The damage done".
This book is certainly not a means for warren fellows to make you think him innocent, he freely admits his guilt, but by the last page you will certainly think that this man, or any other prisoner in the three thai prisons you visit with Mr Fellows along the way, did not deserve the severe punishment inflicted upon him daily, in the most horrific conditions imaginable.
You can almost smell feel and hear everything that Fellows describes he is truly a talented writer and anyone will admire this amazing man for dragging up the worst twelve years of his life from the depths of his soul, and putting it down on paper for everyone to experiance.
I will now never ever set foot in Thailand and anyone who reads this will certainly never smuggle any drug in or out of Thailand.
This book will definitley shock you and may very well break your heart but it will most certainly make you question the nature of the human race and the depths of depravity mankind will sink to given the oppurtunity.
