Books : Cocky: The Rise and Fall of Curtis Warren, Britain's Biggest Drugs Baron
Rating: 
- cocky
Highly recomended book if you like this sort of read. Everyone I have passed it on to loved it and could not put it down.
Rating: - A compelling, must-read.
Like I've said, a comeplling read about a fascinating character. I'd never even heard of the man before I read some excerpts form this book and I rushed out to find it right away. If you're into this type of book you'll love it, but I'd advise anyone to read it. Whether you agree with his chosen profession or not, you have to bow to the criminal genius that is/was Curtis Warren and this well written tale illustrates just how good at his 'job' Warren was, until he slipped up, that is! But I won't ruin it for you. Just buy this book, simple as. It's a must have, I can't recommend it highly enough. Hopefully, when Mr.Warren gets out of prison in a few years he might bless us with his own version of his astonishing life-story, but until then this will set the scene for you, about the man known as the 'Cocky Watchman', possibly the biggest drug dealer Europe has ever seen. Buy it. Now.
Rating: - very good read
top book
Rating: - pass this book at your peril
outstanding account of a underworld character
shame the man himself declined to comment,
wonder where all the millions are that they never found,bet hes laughing his cods off
Rating: - Forget the London Myth
This book is an amazing insight into the mind of a calculating Killer.Other reviews mention of the fact that this book may be sketchy but you don't rise up the ladder to be Interpols Number One by doing interviews.This is the way Liverpool gangsters operate that is why he was worth a couple of hundred million pounds and owns property all over the world.Unlike their London counterparts who are flash and like to brag of their exploits and talk about the Blind Beggar and Jack The Hat and out of date crimes,crime moved on from that.You will never hear Curtis Warrens point of view so this book is an essential read.Warren isn't the only top gangster either read Powder Wars and you'll be amazed,these people have Semtex,hand grenades,torture people for fun and regulary use car bombs on liverpool's streets(another one last night)Forget the Cockney Myth you only have to read Cass Pennants I.C.F book to know they like to exagerate it's a great read and because it comes from an outside source can ALL be verified unlike London blaggers.
