Lew Yates - By: Bernard O`Mahoney, 28 Aug 2008 
I would like to reassure everybody who is able to read one particular `review` about this book (red - farther etc...) that unlike his star struck son, Big Lewies story does not rely on innuendo & fantasy. He has fought long & hard for the respect he is quite rightly given & it is a sad day when one of his own sets out to betray him & liein order to fulfil their own deluded visions of grandeur. Shame on those too who are providing that person with the oxygen to insult & demean his own Father. They claim to be friends but the evidence suggests otherwise. For those of you fortunate enough never to have visited Manae, all I can suggest is you conjour up an image of half a dozen houses, a local shop & fields & fields & fields. Quite how any individual could terrorise that area or indeed control it is beyond me. The only thing the locals do have trouble controlling is vermin whichin recent years have thankfully diminished. To even suggest Lew was a bad Father is an abhorrent insult. A man with failings maybe, but show me any man who doesn't have failings. I have not commented on `that other book yet` but I shall doin due course via the correct authority. It certainly raises more questions than it promises to answer, how can a 30 something year old man be on the run for `most of his life` when he also claims to have beenin prison? Are you still on the run when yourin prison? I know prisons are easy these days but surely the police know who arein them? Twenty `armed robberies` we look forward to reading the details, but no doubt it will be a case of `I cant talk about that?` Unfortunately when defending oneself - whether it be confidently down the pub orin a Court of Law, the truth has to emerge or the argument - or indeed case - is lost.
Yates stories - By: M McAvoy, 27 Aug 2008 
I red billys dads book & thought it waz really gud he seemed like a top geezer who looked after his kidz & family & things but now i have red billys vershion of events on his site &in the paper it seems that his farthers is a load of rubbish. I dont like saying it but its got to be true otherwise billy would not say that about his own farther. Billy even left his farther & was adopted by gipsys, that says somthing to me. Looking forwood to billys book def regret buying his farthers, hes ,mugged us all of.
WILD THING - By: Mrs. P. Gingell, 17 Aug 2008

Excellent read - By: E. V. Croft, 14 Aug 2008 
I purchased this book & read cover to coverin a day, its that good.
Exploring o lot of his issues at home as well as the work side of things makes it quite a refreshing read.
Theres plenty of punch ups & stories from his time on the door, plus info on his fight with Roy pretty boy shaw rifght back to his personal relationships & how they affected him & his kids.
Without spoiling too much of the book its a really good read & shows Lew to be very old school ( not a bad thing) with regards to fighting, preffering to use his fists/head rather than guns that are so often the case nowadays.
4/5
