New Book: No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels by Jay Dobyns and Nils Johnson-Shelton

Over a month ago, I finished reading Thin Lizzy: The Boys Are Back in Town by Scott Gorham and Harry Doherty, a biography of Thin Lizzy penned by their longtime guitarist Scott Gorham and music journalist Harry Doherty (who was close with the band).  I enjoyed it, not only because I love Thin Lizzy, but also because it had a lot of great photos of the band.  Overall, I thought it was a little superficial in that it didn't delve into certain issues as deeply as I would have liked, but I don't think that was the purpose of the book, so I can't fault it for that.

I then took some time off from reading so that I could achieve three stars on all levels of Angry Birds: Star Wars.  I finished that up last week, at which time I realized I had carpal tunnel syndrome -- not to mention full-blown AIDS -- but no books in my queue.  After an exhaustive vetting process of asking friends on Facebook for recommendations, I ordered a few books.  The first to arrive was No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels by Jay Dobyns and Nils Johnson-Shelton.  Dobyns is an ATF special agent who infiltrated the Arizona Hells Angels for several years, and this is his account of what happened.  I imagine it will be pretty good, and hopefully I can finally get some closure on Altamont.  Also, since the book arrived, every time I look at the cover or think of the title, I get Gregg Allman's "I'm No Angel" in my head.  And then I think of Amy Poehler and Josh Brolin on SNL.  And then I laugh.
