Dated and no great revelations

No great discoveries here. Wethern tells about how much the Hells Angels partied and used drugs in the 70's and the beginning of methamphetamine distribution.The book drags and bogs down. I recommend Under and Alone instead of this book.

Whoa! *$%!ing great!

One evening recently my ol'lady and I were at a freinds house and the subject of the club came up. As I was sharing one of my stories growing up in Oakland's Fruitvale area riding around and partying with some of my freindly club members. My buddies wife handed me this fairly large book and said I must read it. I did and just couldn't put it down untill my alarm went off the next morning. This would even make as great movie like Easy Rider.

No B.S. From This Author

Unlike Yves Levigne, who denegrates the Hells Angels in every book he writes, yet makes a ton of money doing it without having the cajones to live it, George was an OG in the Hells Angels. I remember reading in the papers when he jammed pencils in his eyes in penitance for his turning state's evidence. But, whether you agree with his actions(turning states evidence) or disagree(because you don't rat out your friends), the fact remains George lived it, which only an Angel can do. There are some pro's and con's considering everyone wants to put their best foot forward. But, it is fairly written in that he doesn't try to hide too much about his actions or the club's. A very interesting read for those who would like to know more about the early days of the Hells Angels.
