It was mostly the re-telling of the biker news that you probably already know.

This was a tough read, due in some to the author's style but mostly because of the subject matter.
Some have mentioned that more notable titles were produced with co-authors. It might have made Out in Bad Standings more fluid and literary but in doing so would have reduced his story to a potential script.
One sometimes must muddle through what is more of an unintended documentary about the author than the Bandidos. We learn much about Ed by how he expresses himself, perhaps more than what he writes.
There are at least two sides to every story and in spite of its rough nature, I welcomed the opportunity to learn more about the Bandidos, their Club and their culture.
Thanks Ct Ed.

I enjoyed the book very much. It was interesting reading a book from an actual club member. I highly recommend the book if you're interested in biker gangs.
