challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

Felt almost as though a Louis Theroux type character had gone to prison - a very similar tongue-in-cheek way of describing traumatic and challenging events, while also managing to remain sincere. Laughed aloud and cried in turn at this book. Honestly written, reflective and raw.

5.0

An absolute must read. First hand account of a documentary film maker who goes to prison for tax fraud and records his experiences. An amazing honest insight which would never be shown to journalists or politicians. A funny and light hearted read but also dark and moving. Also has a lot of practical and realistic suggestions for reform. Highly recommended!!!
