About this listen

 In 1978 Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison–better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows and where the worst punishment is the khun deo–solitary confinement, Thai style. The Damage Done is one man's story of an unthinkable nightmare. It is not Warren Fellows' plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons. It is an essential read: hearbreaking, fascinating and impossible to put down.©1997 Warren Fellows (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing True Crime Exciting Scary Thought-Provoking

Critic reviews

"This is a not a book for the fainthearted. The reader will be repulsed yet magnetised by the contents of Fellows' book." (The Herald Sun)
"... a solid story of pure misery that addresses you directly, like a man pouring out his heart in your living room" (The Age)

I really enjoyed listening to this - the book gave a real insight into what life is like in a Thai prison and some of the horrible things prisoners go through. The narration was good. I probably would have wanted a bit more depth and details but overall a good listen

The story is fascinating

this is a book that is so worth listening/reading, I first read it a good few years ago while on a flight to Thailand and just got it for my iphone to listen to in work and found it just as intense this time as I did the first,
its not a look at me and feel sorry for me story, its a man explaining his stupidity for greed in younger years that pays the ultimate price. hopefully it has made someone thinks twice before doing the same thing if they read it.

well worth a listen

Fantastic

Outstanding read, horrific ordeal but an eye opener to the mis-treatment of prisoners in other countries. Totally grasping story from start to finish. Highly recommend.

A cautionary tale which could happen to anyone who either stumbles into or goes willingly into the unforgiving world of being a drug mule!!

The damage is still being done.

Where does The Damage Done rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of those books where I struggled getting into work on time. I sat in the car dreading to pause it as I did not want to stop listening. There is only one other book so far that has captured me in such a way. Absolutely brilliant book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Warren Fellows tells is story of being holed up in Bangkok Prisons. Quite rightly he was convicted of smuggling heroin. However, no human being should suffer in such a way and whilst he doesn't plead pity and takes full responsibility you can't help feeling some pity as he reveals a harrowing account of what he saw happen to others, the filth and excrement they lived in, the murders, the insanity and appalling conditions over all.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

All of it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes!

Any additional comments?

Definitely would recommend a listen.
