Chopper 6

As luck would have it 'good hits' were abundant in the criminal underworld. In this, his sixth collection of shocking exploits, Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read tells more of his astonishing tales of violence, murder and execution with a unique black humour that has made him the most popular criminal of today. He candidly, and at times hilariously, discusses his notorious life as one of the toughest criminals on the planet. He gives us his insights on the 'psychology of fear' that rules the criminal lifestyle and recounts tales of an array of gangs and criminals such as 'the Beach Boys' - whose first real hit was nothing like California Girls, but instead involved 'a Chinese gentleman who came visiting Australia but didn't survive the trip.' Written at the time of the Chopper film release, he revels his thoughts on media frenzy and the whirlwind of attention created by his success and the extremes that young female TV presenters were willing to go to for an exclusive interview with him. Hot on the heels of the previous Chopper installments, Chopper 6 continues the bestselling phenomenon that has made Chopper the icon he is today.

Mark Brandon Read now lives in Tasmania, far out of the reach of the hundreds of criminals who what to put a bullet in his skull. He enjoys reading, cooking and caring for his electric chainsaw.
