    Keep up updated. I've only read a short bio in Spanish. Still waiting for something more definitive.

    It is a small book but the subject matter makes you not want to put it down. Will probably be a 1 day read. Written well though. Guy puts you there.

    I love it. I love the way and style in which it is written. It has great historical backstory on Monzons thoughts from his autobiography and elsewhere and keeps you revetted or riveted. This is the second book I have from this guy ("Berzerk") and look forward to his third on Ringo BONAVENA. Good book. Cheap price. Well worth it. Writing wise-A. So much better than

    Finished it and really enjoyed it. Would have finished faster, but currently going thru crushing bac pain. The ending is excellent and perfectly portrays Monzon. The final sentence is a perfect metaphor for a life such as Monzon's
