Yes, the editing of it wasn't the best and there are some technicalities that don't really work but the story itself and the man himself, may Allah have mercy upon his soul, was a goodhearted rebel with a good understanding and sound insight into what is daily imposed on us, the system of opportunity which requires more abilities to master than what we are taught in school. It's hard to bring forth the world that Howard Marks moved in because even if was Tolstoy himself, it's a world that describes to the smallest detail still wouldn't make any sense to a person working the treadmill, one day after the other. But it's there. And the insight that Howard Marks brings out with humour and punch is worthwhile reading. It's a shame this book didn't get more attention but anyone who is tagged by the established system in our world, we are imposed not to care about. Whether you are a dope smuggler or not doesn't really matter. It's our blindness in judgement that makes us not see that some people are just not born to smile when told to go and fight for their country. Howard Marks was one of them. This is his story. If read without judgement there is also a story that should touch us all. Highly recommended, followed by a minute of silence for Howard Marks and good hashish ;) (  ) mmmorsi | Aug 24, 2018 | Lot's and lot's of fun action and maybe a little truth in this autobiography. He recently got out of jail after spending a long time in a Federal Prison in the USA. ( ) hnker | Feb 21, 2016 |  ) jvgravy | Jan 29, 2011 | casual referneces to pink floyd a nice little touch.

"THE BOOK- During the mid 1980's Howard Marks had forty three aliases, eighty nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies throughout the world. Whether bars, recording studios or offshore banks, all were money laundering vehicles serving the core activity- dope dealing. Marks began to deal small amounts of hashish while doing a postgraduate philosopy course at Oxford and soon he was moving much larger quantities into Europe and into America the equipment of touring British rock bands. The academic life began to lose its allure. At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to fifty tons from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Numerous newspaper profiles, books and television documentaries have been devoted to Howard Mark's life. Touched with humour charm and candour, Mr Nice is his own extraordinary story."
