Advantages: Interesting, funny, remarkable.

Disadvantages: none.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is an auto biography about Howard Marks, who went to Oxford University, and was involved in Dope smuggling. It tells his story from an early age right up to being released from an american prison. The writing is compelling( I read this book cover to cover in about three long evenings.) His story is extraordinarily interesting, as it details his smuggling and associates with such detail, that you finish the book, and are always on the look out for his accomplices. He is a very likeable person, who appears to be very intelligent, and very witty. He has a regular column in Loaded magazine, which I would like to read more, but the magazine is crap apart from his column. If you are not familiar with cannabis, the information in this book will at least provide you with some interesting ganja names, and should enlighten you into the drugs culture. I guarantee you that you will not be able to put this book down, and I highly recommend it to everyone!!
PS> he also has a website: www.mrnice.co.uk.

I know what you mean, for me the book was finished in three nights, then frequently re-read. I keep on trying to go to see him live, but always seem to find out about the dates two days after its happened!

I bought this for my husband a while ago and decided (being a full time mum to a 15 month little boy) that my vocabulary is deteriorating and being replaced with baby language - and what better way to solve this than by reading a good book. I picked this up yesterday and my son has now become jealous of this book and is becoming violent towards it because I can't put it down (I suppose he just wants to be fed!!!!)
