The Brotherhoods: Inside the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs
Good book but Arthur Veno tends to down grade the bikers of the U.S.A , not sure why seeing as he was born here & all those so called bikies all want to ride Harleys anyway.
Rating: 3 / 5
This was one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. Even if one can get past all the Australian colloquialisms, it is still full of B-Movie generalizations and nonsense. The author does not ride and is clueless about anything related to two wheels. The author needs an editor and a proofreader. I don’t know what the Australian word would be, but here in America, Veno would be called a tool.
Rating: 1 / 5
I am having a difficult time finishing this book. It is packed full of generalities and honestly a bit boring.
Rating: 1 / 5
Fire up your hog and hit the open road in Australia. This book on biker gangs down under is a real eye-opener for those considering a bike trip in Australia.
Rating: 5 / 5
The author is very knowledgeable, but he writes like an apologist for OMG’s or Bikies as he calls them in Australia. The majority of his arguments defending the bikers is based on statements from the members in the club, so people who live on the fringes and flaunt the law are given instant credibility by him. Reads like a textbook, but not an informative one. His bias shows through and through, a little more objectivity would not hurt his next book.
