Inspiring,
By peter (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meeting the Guv'nor (Hodder Christian Books) (Paperback)
This is a really inspiring book. It's the story of a London criminal and how he finds a way out of his destructive lifestyle. At times, it's very moving. I couldn't put it down. An inspiring book.

Brilliant!,
By john Gold (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meeting the Guv'nor (Hodder Christian Books) (Paperback)
This is an unusual book. It's about a London criminal and how he finds a way out of crime. Alan Mortlock descends into violence, drugs and drink. The author Greg Watts tells the story wit great skill and pace. I read the book in an evening. At the end of it, I felt really inspired. This is one of the best books I have read this year.
