The Last Godfather: The Life and Crimes of Arthur Thompson - Reg McKayWhy do I read these books from time to time? Well, I suppose I have a passion for fact based books and true crime often provides stories that keep the reader on the edge of his seat. I also have a passion for finishing books no matter how dreary they are as I feel that much can be learnt, especially if the author has a supposed reputation.
These two passions of mine do however from time to time collide and this book was one such time. Ok Arthur Thompson lead a life apart from the 'norm' and it would (could and should) make an interesting book to read. But, much like Arthur Thompson's life didn't happen in a hurry neither should the writing of it.
That is the impression that is conveyed here; a rush job. There are regular grammatical errors and the book itself is poorly bound with the pages not even lining up evenly. Verdict? One to remember but for all the wrong reasons.
Ah well, can't win em all. I'd pass if I were you... NEXT!
