I couldn't put this book down! I guess that Bruce Reynolds was probably one of the last 'Gentlmen thiefs' in a way, and whilst one can't condone his lifestyle it is understandable why he went down the path that he did.

The Book is thoroughly absorbing and is really well written, and he exposes his lifestyle 'Warts an' all'! If the era of the Great Train Robbery, and the Decade leading up to it is of interest to you I strongly recommend that you buy this Book; I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Jeden Tag Champagner in Acapulco ist auch nicht das wahre.

Bruce reynolds autobiography: The late Bruce Reynolds

Report Translate review to English. The late Bruce Reynolds revealing his life as a career criminal from being a Raffles type crook to his 'Eldorado', the great train robbery of August when he smoked a Monte Cristo No. He is often described as the mastermind behind that robbery but for all the bravado and the money that was stolen, he appears to have led a happier and more exciting life before the robbery and a more interesting media role after it.

I would like to have known more about the two nights they spent at Leatherslade Farm prior to the robbery because that must be the high spot for the reader, that is where the pent up excitement lies but Bruce Reynolds only touches lightly upon it as do all the films, books and documentaries that have been made about the robbery. It's an interesting read and if you are into true crime, it is hard to put down.

They say it's mostly middle-aged women who read books like this, I am saying no more.

Bruce reynolds autobiography: Bruce Reynolds' life of crime began

Perhaps the last of the 'gentlemen villains'; Reynolds epitomised that particular breed of sharply dressed, post-war criminals who mixed with royalty and movie stars, and never carried a gun. They thrived on adventure and glamour, and the Great Train Robbery was their last ride. From his childhood and early forays into crime, to planning the robbery and his life on the run, and finally his capture, prison years and growing old with the gang - this is a true crime classic.

Widely regarded as a one of the finest memoirs of a life of crime, Autobiography of a Thief is essential listening for anyone interested in true crime.
