This is not really my type of book. It is an autobiography of Michael Emmet, who grew up in 1960s and 1970s London , in a criminal family. It gives details of his criminal activity, his irresponsible lifestyle, his arrest and how his 12 year imprisonment brought about his reform and redemption through his introduction to Christianity through the prison chaplain. It is an interesting story describing his life's extreme ups and downs and is very readable.
To be honest the subject matter does not really interest me personally, but it would be a good a read for anyone interested in criminal lives and minds. It is very dark in places, and I think that it places too much emphasis on the redeeming power of Christianity, rather than a deep personal transformation.
I also get the feeling that this book is ghost written which is something that I do not really like.
