Review: Days in the Life Of Bronson - I have to say that I actually liked reading this book. I saw the movie starring Tom Hardy and decided that I wanted to find out more about this man who has never murdered, raped, or committed any sexual offenses, yet he has been in prison most of his adult life. Also, as portrayed in the movie, I wanted to know what was the deal with the shoe polish. I will leave it at that, as I do not want to be a spoiler for the movie or book. This is really a good read in that Bronson provides a very detailed; sometimes, disturbing look into prison life and his methods for coping with isolation, mental health services, the prison system.
Review: It's not a book for just anyone, but if you searched it, take the time to read it....totally worth it! - I found this from reading something about Tom Hardy's movies. I loved the movie because Tom is in it but found that the Bronson guy is pretty funny. Loved the book, but I don't think it is a book for just anyone to pick up and enjoy. He is a man who doesn't take creep from anyone and loves to be the center of attention. He might come across a someone that didn't know what's going on around him, but he is very aware and very very smart and has a dark sense of humor which makes me love it all the more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The legend of the legend, to an extent.

I've been a fan of Bronson for only a few months now, and follow his Solitary Fitness program as my main method of exercise. When I saw that he wrote other books about his time in prison, I figured this one, the auto-biography (more or less), would be a good start to learn more about him. What I already knew going into this book was limited to how strong he was, that he went to jail for very petty things, and that he single handedly evacuated a prison once when he took a news reporter hostage and somehow was able to make a spear in the process. With this book, I learned a lot more about the man, but unfortunately, I didn't find it as interesting as his Solitary Fitness book. I feel like a jerk for saying that, since this is a book about his time behind bars and what led him to that fate. It's not like he could just make stuff up, but at the same time, a lot of what's in this book makes me feel like I'm reading the same chapters over and over again. Again, I know it's not his fault, but I would've liked more details about how Bronson did certain things, or more notes about the many people he met instead of just 'this happened, and then I did this, which led to this'. Since this is a kind of auto-biography, I won't do much of a plot summary. One reason being that the majority of this book takes place in prison, and Bronson spent the majority of his years in solitary confinement. It starts out with Charles giving a quick rundown of his life as a young boy, and into his teen years when things started to get a little out of hand. He would just go and do things, regardless of it being a good idea or not, which is what would often lead him to trouble. Charles brings up one instance where he went to a parking lot, messed up a bunch of cars, and waited for the owners to come out. He promptly got beat up for that. We learn that his parents are very respected people, and when it comes down to it, Charles is the black sheep of the family. Once in jail, Bronson pays respect to nearly every single person he got along with, giving us their full names and little notes about those that touched his life the most. Unfortunately, most of those moments are very brief, but I suspect his other books about prisoners are where the real good stuff is. After all, this is a story about him, right? While I knew he went to prison for little things like robbery, I had no idea about some of the things Bronson did in prison. I knew he beat up guards, held numerous hostages, and beat up other inmates, but some of the things Bronson writes about, like how he straight-up tried to kill several inmates, really surprised me. Bronson's reasons for those cases are that he had nothing left to lose, and was at the end of his rope because of how depressed he was for having thrown his life away. He also has zero tolerance for anyone who does bad things to women and children, so it's good to see that he has morals like the rest of us (not that I doubted it, but I'm just throwing it out there). I think I learned more about just how bad the British prison system is than I did Bronson's life, because most of this book talks about how he was moved to dozens of locations in a short time, and how no one wanted him because of his reputation. Charles was put in an asylum for a while, and once he was moved back to a prison, several doctors who checked him out wondered why he was put in an asylum in the first place. It's pretty messed up, and I think you'll feel bad for him over how he was treated more than anything. There are some funny stories too. My favorites being whenever Bronson got on the roof of a building after he escaped. He has a thing for going up on roofs and tearing everything apart up there, and I'd laugh out loud whenever I got to those parts, especially since it happened more than once. You won't believe how much the damages cost once he was done with everything. I also appreciated them including a few pages of pictures of Bronson when he was a kid, and some pictures of him working out and with his family the few times he was free. You see some genuine happiness on Bronson's face in these, and it put a smile on my face as well. I feel bad giving this book 4 stars, especially since it's not like Bronson could write about much more than prison stories, and it's not his fault, but time and time again you'll read about him moving to a new place. One chapter is almost entirely moving segments. I would've liked more about his fights and thoughts while he was doing time. There are a lot of times where he'll talk about what went through his mind, but they're very short. Sincere, but short. Some will criticize the lack of detail because he's "just a criminal", but the man is intelligent and has a heck of a tale to tell, and it's too bad he doesn't tell much of it. There's one instance where he got paid to fight a dog, and ripped part of its lungs out. Punching through bulletproof glass was amazing enough, but that? Do I even have to bring up how no one should ever mess with Bronson? He constantly talks about how other prisoners or guards would mess with him, which lead to more time being added to his sentence. You'd think these guys would know better. 'hope their time in the hospital was worth it. What knocks the rating down, almost to 3 stars, is that there's a lot that he doesn't bring up at all. There's no mention of his conversion to Islam and the wife he had at that time. No mention of why he's nicknamed the Birdman. And maybe they're just petty details, but I would've liked to know why he grew his massive beard, or why he sang Yellow Submarine during his final (in this book at least) hostage situation. Overall, Bronson is an interesting read, and worth your time and money. Keep in mind that the profits go towards charities for children and animals, so you're also doing a good thing by buying the book new. This is only the second book of Bronson's that I've read, but I plan to get the rest of them now. Bronson's a good author because of how he writes- it's like he's right there with you, saying everything directly to you. While some might think it's weird, the guy's my hero, and it's a shame that his talents and knowledge are being wasted behind bars when he could be helping people in the real world.
