Why read it?

1 author picked Fallen Angel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When I’m reading about the biker scene what I’m looking for is the reality that underlies the public image and stereotypes. Jerry Langton doesn’t come across as a big fan of bikers but he’s well connected enough to speak to senior players and he’s a professional writer, so what he has to say is very readable, and to me, informative.

From Iain's list on outlaw bikers.
