A good account of the life of a doorman and his professional approach to an often thuggish occupation and his philosophy on violence and its causes and of course its effects. Highly Recommended but beware if you are offended by violence and real world language give it a swerve
this book is a true life changer, the phrase 'page-turner' is tossed about in abundance, but never have i read a book where my every-day life was annoying me as it interfered with my reading time. from the first page till the last Geoff Thompson gives an honest insight into a world most of us will never know, his writing skills are sublime and he captures your imagination as well as your attention through detailed characters and a humorous writing style. everybody likes to think they have an element of 'hard' in them, read this book as, like myself, you are living in a bubble protected from reality, i personally am a black belt in ninjutsu and thought i knew the world, i was deeply mistaken. I will definatley be looking for other releases by the author, and cannot recommend this book enough, i have since lent the book to two friends since i finished it and they are of the exact same opinion as myself, all conversation between us is dominated with excerpts from this truly eye-opening fantastic book.Read full review
I read this book a few years ago, but I had borrowed it off my dad so had to give it back. I was really glad to be able to buy my own copy as i love this book. When reading this book I found myself 'taken to another place' and knowing that the book is factual makes it all the more exciting. It gives a first hand account of the life of a doorman and how it almost takes over every single aspect of Geoff's life.
