Book Reviews of Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America's Most Violent Outlaw Motorcycle Gang
Book Review: Under and Alone
Summary: 5 Stars
From beginning to end I could not put this book down. This booked grabed me and would not let go. The only time I put this book down was to sleep. This is a great insight into a motorcycle gangs lifestyle. Billy Quenn is a modern day dragon slayer. Very intense!!Book Review: ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
Summary: 5 Stars
Motorcycle clubs have been romanticized in this country for over fifty years and while 99% of them (and my brother-in-law is a member of a club) are decent, hard-working everyday guys and girls, it's that 1% that has always piqued the interest of the general public and the reason there were so many movies dealing with gangs like the Hell's Angels in the 1960's and 1970's. The public has an infatuation with them much like with the Mafia.
Bill Queen is nuts...has to be to do what he did and live amongst these people for over two years, doing drugs and commiting crimes just to prove his worth to the gang. And he didn't just risk his life then, but even now he is a target for those he helped bring to justice. It is most interesting how Queen notes that these men are so much like the Mafia in that there is true love and friendship among the members, and yet they wouldn't hesitate to kill their own if they stepped out of line. It's a kind of almost hive relationship that most people just cannot fathom.
Wow, what an incredibly riveting tale. Bill Queen certainly gives new meaning to the word guts.
Book Review: Good Guys Don't Always Wear White
Summary: 4 Stars
From cover to cover "Under and Alone" rates among the best books I've read on outlaw motorcycle gangs. Queen's first hand accounts as a lonely Mongol prospect to eventually becoming a full patch member are gripping and terrifying. Not only does he describe in detail the actions of the gang, but the strain his undercover assignment put on his relationship between his significant other and children. "Under and Alone" is packed with tales of violence, drugs, theft, sex and mayhem. A must read for true crime fans and those attracted to the underbelly of society. Book Review: As real as it gets
Summary: 5 Stars
I cant say enough good about this book. Fast paced. A quick read. Great photos to match names with faces. Anyone interested in true crime or outlaw motorcycle gangs should read this book. The author is obviously honest and authentic. I highly recommend it.Book Review: Read it in 2 days- Could not put it down
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you know nothing about Motorcycle gangs or have little interest in them (like myself), this book is absolutely addicting. I just read on the internet that Warner Bros. has already got a movie deal w/ Mel Gibson as the main character- Billy Queen. Fuqua to direct.
READ THIS BOOK! You will not regret it.
