cmcrockford's review
4.0
A badass memoir that until the very end mostly skips past any of the expectations for memoir (tearful redemption, absolute rock bottom, wistful memories, etc.) Bunker didn't hit rock bottom as much as a series of bottoms, and he doesn't feel guilty about his criminal past. Being a crook sucks mostly, but its all he knew how to do and he fought back against a shitty world in self-defense. The book's fueled by a distinct code and morality that's a snapshot of 1940's/50's machismo and its pretty gripping. Bunker led a hell of a life.
