About this listen
It was just after dawn on Thursday, November 14, 1991. The hatch on the cell door slid back. I could see the screw's face through the slit. I've seen better heads on a pig dog, but this time I could have kissed him.
Underworld standover man and executioner Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read was released from Pentridge Prison in November, 1991, vowing never to return.
He became an instant celebrity when his autobiography Chopper: From the Inside hit the best-seller lists (it also holds the record as Australia's most shoplifted book). Six months later, he was back in jail charged with the shooting of a biker, and busy writing his second volume of memoirs.
In this sequel, Chopper gives us more stories of crime and criminals that made his first book an international publishing sensation, from bookie robberies to hitmen, slavery, and kidnapping.Written with dark humour and an intimate knowledge of some of Australia's most notorious criminals and crimes, Hits and Memories is a unique look at Australia's underbelly.

Ha Hah!
Whilst somewhat annoying, Dave Ferguson’s imitation of MBR’s evil chuckle occasionally, didn’t quite work. Otherwise a great audio book and insight into the Melbourne underworld, and Chopper’s life.

Narrator
The narrator detracted from the book trying to impersonate Chopper making the narration more the focal point than the story

Full of it.
This book should be titled, The Memoirs of a Delusional Sociopath 2. Some of it is true but for the most part, it’s BS. I’ve heard the real jail stories.
