Summary
Shaun Attwood arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, a penniless business graduate from a small industrial town in England. Within a decade, he became a stock-market millionaire. But he was leading a double life.
After taking his first Ecstasy pill at a rave in Manchester as a shy student, Shaun became intoxicated by the party lifestyle that would change his fortune. Years later, in the Arizona desert, Shaun became submerged in a criminal underworld, throwing parties for thousands of ravers and running an Ecstasy ring in competition with the Mafia mass murderer Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano.
As greed and excess tore through his life, Shaun had eye-watering encounters with Mafia hit men and crystal-meth addicts, enjoyed extravagant debauchery with superstar DJs and glitter girls, and ingested enough drugs to kill a herd of elephants. This is his story.

would have benefited from a British narrator
don't get me wrong by the title. I really enjoyed the book, after watching shaun on some podcasts I had to get the audio book and wasn't disappointed, the story is gripping and larger than life. It lacked a tiny bit of cohesion in the way it jumped about the timeline of events in some places and could have used some more framing in that vein, but that didn't ultimately detract from how much I enjoyed the listen. the performance was ok but was a little monotone for my taste and in some places lacking emotion, and an american talking in liverpudlian slang was quite strange haha. I can't help but feel getting a Scouse to narrate the book or maybe shaun himself would have made the listen way more immersive. these negative points do not detract from it massively however and I've just downloaded the other book in the series available on audible.

Gripping and laugh out loud funny
What a story, gripping and laugh out loud funny (which got me some strange looks on the train).
An amazing story told and narrated perfectly.
I can hear my wolves howling now
On to the next instalment

Worst Narrator ever
I've been watching Shaun's and Wildmans podcasts proper hooked mint as I was amongst it in the 90s mad times . Shaun's character in real life is genuine and interesting. so I downloaded the Audiobooks. 2 minutes in no chance a winny yank Narrator . Not slagging the guy but Definitely not the voice for this Book . Shaun you should do it yourself mate be miles better . So it looks like it's the Glasses out and it's the paper back. my eyes ain't what they were you know them bits of paper you put on your eye balls help you see the truth perple home 🙃🤣🤣.Be lucky lads .BeBop

Needs an English narrator
Excellent apart from the terrible narration. English Shaun read by an American? Worth a listen still!

amazing book.
I listen to it on audiobook because I'm a wagon driver and finished it in 2 days, it was amazing to listen to and and it sounds like Shaun has had an amazing beginning of the trilogy, well up until it catches up to him.

Great Story but
The narrator wasn’t suited to story and it was hard trying to listen to him attempt a Scouse accent
Great story though

Give the narrator a chance
I saw the same review as everyone else about how an American is narrating the story and he makes the audiobook even better once you get used to it (witch happens fast) he will drag you in to the story so well witch is amazing love all 3 books and I’m gutted that Iv finished them all

Hard to Believe
Watching Shaun on YouTube, he seems to be such a wonderful man. But just like everyone there's a dark side. This is Shaun's dark side to his life many many years ago. Thankfully he's leading a respectable life in England. Too bad he's been deported, I'd love to meet him & talk to him about the Steve Avery case.

Bad narrator or robot?
The narrator is making this story seem like a joke. His emotions ride on one road and never veer off, ever. This is a story with explicit drug use with some sexuality thrown in and this narrator keeps the same tone and it's completely fighting against everything in the book. It is so weird to listen to that it could be a skit in SNL. I sound mean but I can't find the correct words to describe this strange experience. I haven't read any reviews but I would bet money that this is mentioned in EVERY review. Fingers crossed for a different narrator next book

The story is good, the performance SUCKS.
Perhaps it's because I was first exposed to Mr Atwood in a YouTube interview... so it's my opinion that this book must be read by a Brit. The wank who reads this is quite literally the worst audio book performer I've ever heard. I couldn't make it past the second chapter. Gonna try to get a refund actually.

Incredible
I stayed up at night wanting to finish this book. The narrator was very good. The story sounded fictional. I couldn't comprehend why someone will leave a job where he earns millions of dollars to drug trafficking. By the end of the book it became clear to me that this is happening every day in our world. I hope this book will assist people struggling with drug addiction to rethink their destiny.

Much longer than the first edition!
This book is a fast-paced spiral into drug crazed insanity. It's a true story that will blow your mind. Having read the first edition years ago, I decided to try the second, which includes even more stories than the first and even crazier! Attwood really takes you there with his descriptions. For example "Next room. Fashion show. A stage lit pink and blue by filtered spotlights fixed to metal ladder structures. A woman struts on the runway in a tight shirt with silver flames, a jacket dangling from her elbows, blue leopard print with combed white plush drooping from the bottom, bright-pink patent vinyl trousers completing the look. Primo walks on in a white suit hand-painted with orange and green stripes and spots, his torso naked and hairless, carrying a tray with glasses and a pitcher patio set, seven-inch-thick platform heels on circus shoes, with grey vacuum cleaner tubes spiralling around his ankles. A woman in a white faux-rabbit-fur bolero crop jacket over nude breasts sashays with strength and confidence, a Betty Boop tattoo peeking out of white thong panties, curves dressing her up."
I highly recommend this, and the new edition of hard time.

Absolutely Exceptional
As someone who listens to a lot of audiobooks I can honestly say this book was absolutely exceptional. The story was so riveting there were multiple points which had me holding my breath with anticipation for what could possibly be coming next, and it was very difficult to stop listening. It’s the kind of book you don’t want to end. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to listen to an outrageous story about a very fast life.

Worst voice possible! Snore
I cant stay awake. This is the worst narrator possible. Please have Shaun read this. It is the worst reading ever. It takes all my energy to even attempt to pay attention. And this is a great book. Way to ruin it with this reading.

....brings back memories....
This book brought back many a rave memories! The fun and drugs had by most, that pulsing beat, and the wild clothes. I heard Shaun on a podcast I listen to and it reminded me that I’d heard of this book but forgotten to read it. So glad audible had his work! I’ve got the next book queued up and ready to go!! I can’t wait to hear the next part of his journey, though it won’t be all that fun....
