Summary

Shaun Attwood arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, a penniless business graduate from a small industrial town in England. Within a decade, he became a stock-market millionaire. But he was leading a double life.

After taking his first Ecstasy pill at a rave in Manchester as a shy student, Shaun became intoxicated by the party lifestyle that would change his fortune. Years later, in the Arizona desert, Shaun became submerged in a criminal underworld, throwing parties for thousands of ravers and running an Ecstasy ring in competition with the Mafia mass murderer Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano.

As greed and excess tore through his life, Shaun had eye-watering encounters with Mafia hit men and crystal-meth addicts, enjoyed extravagant debauchery with superstar DJs and glitter girls, and ingested enough drugs to kill a herd of elephants. This is his story.

Excellent

This was a 1st for me into the world of shaun attwood and what an amazing story , from a hippodrome virgin to ecstasy kingpin with a soft side for the human kind , i actually thought this was made up and questioned it by doing some research and he's real folks LOL Bangin chicks high on a plethora of class A drugs is an achievment in its self lets be honest fair do's to the lad for twisting the truth a bit where that''s concerned and i'm quoteing Mark Brandon Read "never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn" so from living the life and playing the game with a team of rouges and a sideman with a name like wild man he's mixing with the mexican mafia and the new york mafia he soon brought down to earth with a clang of prison doors and the raucousness of prison life in the US and especially Arazona with a 2 million dollar bond in maximum security prison with some of the roughest convicts in the US he soon realises what effect this has had on his family and decides to try and make up for his exploits by doing some good and exposes the state of the prison system via a blog which is helped with by his aunt and father , i thought it was well written and detailed accounts its a definate must listen and the 2nd and 3rd installment which is read shaun himself (the 3rd wasnt the best read by shaun)

Much longer than the first edition!

This book is a fast-paced spiral into drug crazed insanity. It's a true story that will blow your mind. Having read the first edition years ago, I decided to try the second, which includes even more stories than the first and even crazier! Attwood really takes you there with his descriptions. For example "Next room. Fashion show. A stage lit pink and blue by filtered spotlights fixed to metal ladder structures. A woman struts on the runway in a tight shirt with silver flames, a jacket dangling from her elbows, blue leopard print with combed white plush drooping from the bottom, bright-pink patent vinyl trousers completing the look. Primo walks on in a white suit hand-painted with orange and green stripes and spots, his torso naked and hairless, carrying a tray with glasses and a pitcher patio set, seven-inch-thick platform heels on circus shoes, with grey vacuum cleaner tubes spiralling around his ankles. A woman in a white faux-rabbit-fur bolero crop jacket over nude breasts sashays with strength and confidence, a Betty Boop tattoo peeking out of white thong panties, curves dressing her up."

I highly recommend this, and the new edition of hard time.

Give the narrator a chance

I saw the same review as everyone else about how an American is narrating the story and he makes the audiobook even better once you get used to it (witch happens fast) he will drag you in to the story so well witch is amazing love all 3 books and I’m gutted that Iv finished them all
