"This book was really an interesting look into the outlaw biker culture. As a "biker" I think we tend to romanticize that world sometimes, but it's clearly no place for normal people to live. I don't understand why people would want to spend their lives in a sleazy environment of drugs, violence, and uncertainty about who your real friends are.
A couple of things I found interesting.
One was the humanity often found in men who are not wired to function in normal society, violent impulsive men with a pathological attraction to dangerous situations. The love and respect these men showed "Bird" were much more compelling to me than his story as a LEO whose mission was to take them down. Clearly the loyalty he got from the HAs was above and beyond what he has got from the ATF since the investigation closed. I wonder how Jay felt about betraying that loyalty, even though these men were often violent killers.
Another was the conflict between the old bikers who just want to settle down and the young guys who want to live the 1% lifestyle and be the new Sonny Bargers.
I think if you wear black t-shirts and ride a Harley you need to read this book, just to see what other people think you are when they see you riding down the street."
"I really did enjoy this book, it showed a lot about motorcycle clubs that I had not thought about. Jay seems like a real MAN and I am glad we have a few of them left in the United States. I am sorry things ended like they did with this undercover operation but at least he has the personal satisfaction of knowing he did all he could even though it almost ruined his life. Anyway, it is worth reading."
"I never knew much about the Hells Angels, but now I wish I could at least see them. I checked and they do not have a chapter in Utah, but this summer I will be looking for some Hells Angels. I now am much more afraid of them than I ever was before. If you want to learn anything about motorcycle gangs this is he book to read."
"The story focuses on the effects of the investigation on the undercover officer. It was informative and entertaining, and did an exellent job showing how an undercover investigation impacts the friends, family and coworkers as well. Beware, not surprisingly there is a significant amount of language."
