"I love what a smart-ass Behan is. This book is an autobiographical account of his arrest in England for an attempted IRA bombing an subsequent incarceration in Borstal. The cliches apply: sharp, witty, sweet, biting, etc. Behan's booked is marked by his playfulness with language and dialects, and honesty about his level of politicization and how his ideals grew and changed."

"Brendan tells his story of a childhood in Ireland to his involvement with the I.R.A. and his arrest and incarceration in the U.K. A great tale of a heavy life, with heavy drinking and flying fists the size of melons."
