Bosun11 537 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I knew Paul, as for the book, Finnes has certainly written it from an anti's perspective.... Edited to add, for anyone reading this who does not know, the book is not about the man, it is a semi-fictional novel written by Finnes and Blackledge is mentioned in it.

carp king 155 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks for the reply lads I thought it seemed a bit over the top to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Never heard of either.......is the book any good?.....just read a synopsis & might check it out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,896 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Knew PB from 1978, I used to live about 5 miles away from him. The book is very short on facts about him. There are obviously some truths in there but they are overshadowed by a lot, and I mean a lot of fiction. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
