There is a lot of gallows humour in the book; some of it laugh out loud hilarious, some a little wearing, and some heartbreaking. And the book is packed with first hand observations and links to other evidence.
It's available as a Kindle, but reads even better on my Sony.
Highly recommended. If I could give him karma I'd give all I could.
