    If you're into biographies, fill your boots. Very entertaining. Opens with Keith getting busted in the bible belt of America in a car loaded with cocaine and weed. How he managed to walk away with a minor traffic offence and forfeiture of a fishing knife is something else.

    I haven't finished it yet but he's quite a story teller and his life is bewildering!

    Took it on holiday last year.....brilliant book.

    How this guy is still alive really does defy modern biological science.

    Chapter two: "...and that was the first time I got shot." - you know you're in for a fun ride. :)

    Great read.

    Only surpassed in my opinion by Heroes & Villains - the Story of the Beach Boys... drownings, involvement with a violent killer, madness ...
