SOLVED Which Chopper book is best to read if you had to pick one?


I wouldn't mind having a go at one of Chopper's books, which would be the best one?

The first two without a doubt. The rest kind of repeat themselves and then went into telling fictional tales in further books based on himself. The first two, before the world became obsessed with his stories and antics and the movie followed are the two best. The first is a reflection on all his crimes, his young life and contacts right up until the murder on Sammy the Turk. The second touches on alot of the same points and also his diary of a murder trial he was going through at the same time.

Thanks, "From the Inside" and "Hits and Memories" it is then.

I remember reading the first chapter of From The Inside without reading any of his other books and only seeing the movie and, without giving the first chapter away of anything, thinking, hmmm, fair enough any normal person may brick it in the situation he's writing about but not the Chopper I've been reading about as he called it the scariest situation of his life. And then I got to chapter two and realised he was just starting off light...enjoy
