Fast paced & exciting! A rare first hand insight to the MC world & the ‘Mongols’. Junior has given his entire life to the club. He sacrificed everyone & anything else he cared about, to be part of a system of brotherhood he truly believed in. Since his first glimpse of a Mongol biker as a child, it seems he was destined for the outlaw life & irrevocably drawn to the idea of being part of a motorcycle club. He became the youngest member ever to join the organisation, continuously being promoted until, he was voted as National President at the age of 28.
Although he was permitted to write this book,in order to abide by club law & regulations, these words are his alone. He doesn’t tell any other members stories and a lot of the dirtier details are omitted, along with affiliations & profiteering of the club.
Junior appears honest in his flaws & mistakes, showing even the toughest guy in the room can experience fears & anxieties. One surprising observation I made, was his inability to maintain stability without a woman in his life. It seemed that when his relationships broke down, he in turn became unstable & lost.
I really enjoyed Juniors story, managing to fly through the book in 2 days.
For anyone who was fascinated by ‘Sons of anarchy’ or ‘Mayans MC’ this is a book for you.
