Book Review: FREEDOM, Credos From The Road
Terrific Christmas Gift From Sonny Barger
From Rogue

Sonny Barger Book

Looking for an excellent Christmas gift for a Brother, Sister, Co-Worker or fellow Club Member? Looking for something as a Holiday gift for your son, your daughter or your spouse? Sonny Barger's new book, Freedom ... Credos From The Road, could be just the choice.

To be honest, you most likely will enjoy reading Barger's new book yourself and the good news is that it weighs in at a cost of about only 15 bucks a copy, so you can pick up one or two copies as gifts for them and a copy for yourself to read.

Sonny Barger has written several books over the recent years and this book may fast prove to be his most popular book so far. In this book Barger has written a solid Philosophy for life on the Hot-Topped Road. After reading this book, one can understand why Sonny Barger has been called the spiritual leader of the Hell's Angels and is thought of as a Road-Mentor by many Brother and Sister Riders.

I wish that I had had this book to give to my sons when they turned 18, then again, to be honest, I wish I had been handed this book when I was 18. It sure would have saved a lot of head banging and mistakes along the Road.

Is this statement an over-statement?? I think not! But a moment of caution is do here - If you are buying or looking into Sonny Barger's new book (Freedom ... Credos From The Road) expecting to read a book with a "Do what you want ... to whoever you want ... whenever you want to!" attitude, you best move on to the comic book section of the store, for this attitude is not in Barger's book.

Barger's Philosophy can best be described as cautionary -- for wise thought, for there is always a repercussion for every action .. so think well before you act. True, his Philosophy is not a 'turn the other cheek'

Philosophy --

"Treat me good - I'll treat you better." "Treat me bad - I'll treat you worse."

But, Barger's Philosophy is not a 'get them first' attitude, it is more of a 'Live And Let Live' Philosophy ... with a Capital -- LIVE!

Barger is best thought of as an American Patriot ... As an American he respects his own rights as well as other's. Even on the Highway (sect 32, p138), he recommends finding the rhythm of the Road, "The challenge to driving or riding is knowing the simple rules, finding the groove and sticking to it."

Barger made this statement about the Hot-Topped Road, but he most likely adheres to this Philosophy on the Road of Life as well. Barger admits he has hit his share of speed bumps in the Road of Life. He does not let these speed bumps go to waste. He is honest with his Brothers, Sisters and Readers about his past cocaine use and prison time and tells he does not recommend that others make these same mistakes.

They say the measure of a good book is ... how fast a book will disappear if you set it down. Here, I would like to thank the good folks at the Goodall Library in Sanford, ME for loaning me their copy of Freedom ... Credos From the Road, for my copy has grown its own legs and has disappeared.

Here we would like to recommend that you buy a copy of this book for yourself and a copy for a friend or two ... but we don't recommend that you set them down.

We also recommend that if you would like to own a First Edition of this book, that you purchase it soon, for we are sure that this book will go through many more Editions.
