Summary
Narrated by the visionary founding member, Hell's Angel provides a fascinating all-access pass to the secret world of the notorious Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club. Sonny Barger recounts the birth of the original Oakland Hell's Angels and the four turbulent decades that followed. Hell's Angel also chronicles the way the HAMC revolutionized the look of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle and built what has become a worldwide bike-riding fraternity, a beacon for freedom-seekers the world over.
Never simply a story about motorcycles, colorful characters, and high-speed thrills, Hell's Angel is the ultimate outlaw's tale of loyalty and betrayal, subcultures and brotherhood, and the real price of freedom.

A hard listen
Sonny Barger has an ego the size of the USA. But don't think this is a glamorous Sons of Anarchy type lifestyle. Barger is a complete egotistical moron, he is convinced it is his way or now way. The so called "code of honour" has nothing to do with honour. This is the story of a bunch of bikers, who should've been locked up and the key thrown away. They thought they were above the law, none were nice people. They were drug taking morons who enjoyed fighting, especially if they can "ratpack" the victim (like 5 HA's on one victim).
The expression "f**k em up" is used to often, its like they are trying so hard to be tough, when really they are nothing more than a bunch of criminal thugs, drinking, drugging, raping, fighting. They thrive on the image of fear.
Its a hard listen, fascinating to see how deluded these guys are. Sonny Barger was a jumped up Napoleon. Bragging, how he faced down Law Enforcement officials, they showed no respect for fellow human beings.
If you are expecting to like these guys, good luck.
The narration is ok, but trying to hard to be tough talking.

Mundane and self obsessed diatribe.
Would you try another book written by Sonny Barger or narrated by John Pruden?
No, definitely not. Not very entertaining, rather self indulgent book not really engaging and it drones on far too much. Wasted a good few hours listening to it, waiting for it to excite... And that didn't happen
What could Sonny Barger have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
More action and details
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of John Pruden?
Robert duvall
What character would you cut from Hell's Angel?
Not many to choose from

Bull
Whilst I do believe that the content is based on things that happened I can’t bring myself to believe that this is a try recognition. I think that most of it is fantasy in his head.

Couldn’t even finish it
Ego fuelled, self indulgent drivel glorifying Sonny and his mates who were/are clearly just thugs. I’m a biker myself and had a genuine interest in how the HA came about but I got have way through this and I’d had enough. Deleted without finishing.

Overall a fantastic book that I’ll listen to again.
