What to expect
Perhaps the last of the 'gentlemen villains'; Reynolds epitomised that particular breed of sharply dressed, post-war criminals who mixed with royalty and movie stars, and never carried a gun. They thrived on adventure and glamour, and the Great Train Robbery was their last ride.
From his childhood and early forays into crime, to planning the robbery and his life on the run, and finally his capture, prison years and growing old with the gang - this is a true crime classic.
Widely regarded as a one of the finest memoirs of a life of crime, Autobiography of a Thief is essential listening for anyone interested in true crime.
Narrated by his son, Nick Reynolds, who grew up on the run with his father.
User Reviews
His son Nick effortlessly conveys the fascinating story of his father, the friendships, the childhood, the transition to crime, the highs and the lows and overall a snapshot of society through Bruce’s eyes from the 30’s right up until the 90’s.
Fantastic memoir.
