Updated Review: December 8, 2021
I would say I didn't quite enjoy this as much 2nd time around, but I won't change my rating because the story is still interesting. I didn't notice the "all over the place" editing the last time but it's a memoir so I'm going to assume the story was relayed as it was told.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 2013
Another well done story about bikers by Peter Edwards, this time the story is focused on one in particular Lorne Campbell. As in Bandidos Massacre Mr. Edwards gives the reader an in depth look into the lives of the 1% bikers. It would be easy to say that the majority of bikers were abused as children and that's why they opt for this most times violent way of life but that is not necessarily always the case. Some of them are just looking for somewhere they belong and they gravitate to the "brotherhood" of the gangs. I really enjoyed this deep dive into Lorne Campbell's life and it was easy to understand his sense of honour and brotherhood. He readily admits he's committed some violent acts but as the title suggests he is unrepentant; he just wanted to tell his story no matter what anyone thinks of him. Having previously read Bandidos Massacre a lot of the names were familiar and I truly enjoyed Unrepentant. If you have any interest in biker gangs I highly recommend reading either or both of these books.
