Commentary In Favor Of Books The Guv'nor

Lenny McLean was one of the deadliest bare-knuckle fighters Britain has ever seen. He had dear, powerful friends, but he also had terrible enemies. So much so that he has two bullet wounds in his back, and has been stabbed repeatedly—always from behind. Lenny, however, is also a warm, grizzly bear of a man, whose main weakness is an overwhelming desire to put the welfare of his mates ahead of his own well-being. In this autobiography he tells of how the mafia flew him to New York to take on their greatest bare-knuckle boxer in a multi-million pound illicit challenge bout. The Mafia's man lasted less than three minutes. When the IRA fronted up a London gang in a money-laundering scam, Lenny was brought in to intimidate the terrorists. The IRA, not surprisingly, backed off. Lenny's most serious trial came when he was accused of murder. Fighting to prove his innocence against a minimum sentence of 25 years, Lenny never gave up, and went on to be found not guilty. After deciding to retire from the violent life, Len turned his hand to acting, having parts in The Fifth Element and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Judgment Out Of Books The Guv'nor

Written in his own words, feels as real as you can get

The most phenomenal book I have ever read ! If Lenny's life journey doesn't have you captivated from the first few pages then you're a beige bastard with no sense of excitement. This remains the quickest book I have ever read, and without a doubt the most jaw-dropping. How they never finished making a film about him remains a mystery, but then again who could pull off the great man with such conviction. READ IT !!!!

borrowed and read this when i was 18 and loved it. i bought it from the charity shop to read on the train and couldnt believe how much i still love it. got to be one of the best portrayals of a hard man i have ever read. yes he hurt people with his fists but as he says he wasnt a bully and they knew what they were signing up for. such a gentlman

Great readOnce i opened the book I couldn't put it down . First book I have read in over 10 yeara

Decent autobiography for a man I only knew of from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. It basically Lenny McLean sitting down at his kitchen table, telling you his life story. From as far back as he can remember, and I believe up until his death. From his abusive step father, his run in's with the law, his fighting career, AND his time locked up while awaiting trial for murder. NOW as an American its a bit hard to understand the British slang. BUT if you enjoy a read about a man who lived a hard

Pretty good,

Well, that an interesting experience to consider the crime life from the other side, from the villain's side. And to find there logic, and, well, I'll call that integrity or something akin to it, love, and heaps of fighting spirit. That's another question of judgement: don't be too quick to judge others, chances are you do not understand them and their lives at all.
