Not heard of Paul Sykes? Mentioned in the book Legends by Charles Bronson, an A to Z guide of the men Bronson had regarded to be the toughest in Britain. Referring to "Sykesy", Bronson describes him as "a Legend, Born and Bred" and writing: "I first met Sykes in Liverpool in the early 70s and at that time he was probably the fittest Con in Britain. A notorious hard man from Yorkshire, a fighting man in every sense. A lot of people never liked him, perhaps they even feared him but I respected the man for what he stood for."

Revisado: 02-25-21
Strong regional working class dialects, witty turn of phrase, sports training, sex, and moments of poignant and brutal honesty. More than just a prisoner's manifesto or self congratulatory bluster. Sweet Agony is an entertaining account, a slice of life with airs of those kitchen sink dramas. For those familiar with Paul Sykes from the documentary made and it’s cult following,this book is further insight into this fascinating personage. Who famously had an intensely active brain as well as body. Whether the reader views him as an unaware villain or a tragic flawed hero trying to do the right thing, the agenda is never pushed. It holds up as unique novel in it’s own right.
