Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club by Sonny Barger

2.0

Sonny Barger's memoir of his life dedicated to the cause of the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club is somewhat interesting, but poorly written, a bit on the redundant side and all-to-brief when Barger goes into some episode of violence/sex/philosophy of the biker that I wanted to know more on. He should of really juiced this up and gave even more sex and violence and given an insider's tour of what it's really like to live the "outlaw" biker lifestyle that he gripes about non-stop in the pages of the book. Barger's been either in the club, in prison [or both] for nearly his entire life so the man has dedicated everything to the Hell's Angels--maybe that's why he didn't really go full-bore with the stories. They are often too brief as Barger just tells a little bit about this fight, murder, feud with other bikers. The book is pretty much sexless too! I would have thought there would have been much more to tell on this subject as much as Barger mentions the "hard partying" they did. Could have and should have been a lot better!
