GANGS is perfect for anyone who is curious about a life of crime but doesn't want to go and find out about it for themselves. The book is made up of interviews from criminals and victims. Thompson puts himself in the middle of dangerous situations just to write a good piece of journalism, don't they say the bad decisions make for the best stories? Very true in this book, he even tries crack cocaine which is personally my favourite description within the whole book he writes:
...oh,my god...its...its everything. It's absolutely everything. Its having great sex, its finding out you've won the lottery, its getting promoted at work, its finding a fifty pound note laying in the street. Its being pissed at your favourite pub with all your best friends whilst the funniest comedian in the world does a show on stage. Its laying on the beach with the sun on your back, its someone bringing you breakfast in bed, its all the chocolate you've ever eaten in one bite..
This book is worth a look, it is a page turner and will open your eyes to a whole new world.
