Mr Nice - Howard Marks Reviews

This is the book i'm currently reading. i picked it up in a local charity shop for a bargain price and i thought it would be worth a go, even though its not normally the sort of book i would choose. I'm so glad i bought it. The book is an autobigraphy of Howard Marks, a drug smuggler. But what i find so fascinating is the fact that ...

Howard Marks, son of the Welsh valleys, Oxford student and international dope smuggler, writes his autobiography with the speed and panache with which his life has been lived. Initiated into the joys of marijuana whilst at Oxford, Howard quickly spies an opportunity to make money fast. Dope is really taking off in the halls of academia ...

After reading this book, I can’t help thinking that Howard Marks is a bit of a Wally. With all the prestige, connections and wealth a Oxbridge degree can bring you, he blew it all by smoking his brain away on weed. Ok he’s pretty cool in student and pothead circles but it shouldn’t make the guy a likeable loveable rogue to ...

Not being a big biography reader I saw somewhat sceptical when I was given this book by a friend. I'd heard the press stories about Howard Marks, read some of the spate of articles that were around when he came back to the UK and I'd even played his smuggling game on his website (it's very addictive by the way).

Depending on your viewpoint on the use of cannabis, you will either tut loudly all the way through, or have a right good belly laugh. Either way, this is a highly entertaining and informative look at the world of drug smuggling.

I do believe truth can be stranger than fiction. I have just read this book, and it is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. It is the story of Britains' best known cannabis smuggler, Howard Marks, his remarkable life, his operations and eventual incarceration. The thing that strikes you about this book, and the ...

Howard Marks also known as Mr nice, once was Britain's most wanted man for his dealings with and the smuggling of marijuana throughout the world. During the mid 1980’s Howard Marks had 43 aliases, 89 different phone lines and owned 25 companies trading throughout the world.Now released is a great and very interesting book of Howards ...

There are some people who would never read a book like this, for whatever reason. This review is aimed more at people who are interested, but want to know whether this book is a good read or just a cash in. I can tell you now, it is well written and enjoyable to read. While I might not condone what Howard Marks did, reading this book ...

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 ...
