Wow - Dobyns story makes most of the script writers and movie stars look seriously shitty - great read and quite unbelievable - pity he is left swinging by the ood guys - (hopefully not literatllly) definitely worth the read A man gets torn trying to figure out who is. In order to become a good undercover agent, Jay Dobyns must fully believe in the "part" he is trying to play as a Hells Angel. Part of this is leaving family and friends behind. Challenging him, and looking for that next adrenaline rush...without breaking the law that he is sworn to uphold. A great insight into the struggle of letting your work overtake yur life on a level that most of us will never understand. Undercover police officer, Jay Dobyns, tells of his infiltration of the Hells Angels in an attempt to collect enough evidence to imprison some key leaders. This two-year federal investigation requires Jay to completely immerse himself in the HA culture, seamy as it may be. This was not very pleasant reading for me. Even Jay was not a sympathetic player--he was far too willing to be sucked in; and to be impressed with the HA big-wigs. The way they live, the way they treat their women, the violence they perpetrate just for fun, the laws they break just because they can--none of this held any interest for me! If only this true story could have read a little bit faster so I didn't have skim parts....Jay Dobyns went undercover into the Hells Angels and he became quite the bad boy. I had no idea that the Hells Angels were really that bad. Heck, around here, the motorcycle "gangs" go on charity runs and hold fundraiser dinners. But now I know better about the Hells Angels. Jay becomes more and more "Bird" and less and less Jay. He barely gets out. no reviews | add a review
