About this listen
Never get too close to anyone, because you might have to kill them. Meet Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. You think you know him. His books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Australia. He's been the subject of an internationally successful film. His one-man shows have toured Australia to sell-out crowds. He's the most recognisable criminal brand name in Australia. But the truth is... you don't know him at all.
Toe-cutter. Blowtorch aficionado. Killer. Husband. Father. Children's author. Stand-up comedian. The real Chopper has been an enigma – until now, that is. This is the definitive Chopper story. From his strange, tortured childhood, to the formative years as a young gang member and developing criminal, to his decades in and out of prison in Victoria and Tasmania, to his friends and enemies, and his crimes and punishments, this book gives us the true stories that lie behind the Chopper myths, as well as the stories he's never revealed before.

Love him or hate him, he’s definitely an Aussie legend.
What a fascinating man. I listened to this on Audible with my husband while travelling around Queensland and it was a shame that it wasn’t read by him, but the narrator (Dan Wyllie) did an amazing job. His wit and intelligence were definitely apparent.
Chopper speaks matter-of-factly about his life, his killings and the violence that always surrounded him. His unusual childhood, his misdiagnosed mental health issues and the company he kept all played a part in his criminal career. But above all this, his good versus evil morals shine through. He didn’t hurt the average person, he stole from drug dealers, criminals and other stains on society. He wasn’t scared to go against the grain if it meant he was standing up for what he thought was right. A very complex man who thought things were really quite simple.
He wrote this book for his sons, so they might know him and his motivations. I hope they got some insight to this now legendary Aussie.

R.I.P. Chopper!!
A great book and also a great narration by Dan Wyllie. It turned out to be different to what I'd thought it would be like.

Waste of Time
Appears to be simply snippets of Chopper's later years, all over the place and not explained in very good detail. Dan Wylie is a great actor, but a mumbling too fast narrator.
