Best true life crime auto-biography, April 20, 2009
Dunpeckham I am a reader of crime biography, this book 'Dunpeckham by Johnny mack is a marvel! I have never come across a biography that is as near to the bone as can be. johnny Mack tells us about his up-bringing in notorious Peckham south London, this guy impressed me from the start by his honesty, wit, humour.
He tells it as if you were in the room with the guy and him explaining in detail about his life in the crimminal underworld, the violence that was dished out to those that deserved it, his love for his wife and children.
His downfall came when he became an heroin addict whilst in Brixton prison, he tells the reader exactly what happened and leaves no holds barred. Its a must to be read. W.H.
