Title: The Real Deal
Review: Ralph "Sonny" Barger is an old school outlaw. He believes in respect, honor, and the right of might. As the former President of the Oakland Hells Angels and a street-bred kid, Barger witnessed both honor and dishonor. He is the real deal.Reality is what he offers in his first fully non-autobiographic book. (I've read all his others.) You easily imagine Barger substituting for the protagonist in any of the scenes described.Don't expect intricate plot lines, twists, literary allusions, or gratuitous love scenes. It's straight-at-you action from start to finish.You don't like motorcycles? Don't understand the 1%'er view of brotherhood? Don't bother.Barger has written a very enjoyable and predictable novel. Given the fact that a movie is being made, as we read, the book often seems to be a screen play.None of this should take away from the fact that I found the characters well developed enough to want to read a sequel.But then I've been a biker for 45 years.Respects, Jenkx
