Publisher's Summary
After eight years spent locked up, Max has gotten very good at being a prisoner. He knows the guards, the inmates, and how to survive. But the parole board has decided that he has sufficiently reformed, and it's time for him to say good-bye. When Max reaches the outside world, he finds that freedom doesn't make anything easier.
Based on his own experiences in prison, Edward Bunker first drafted No Beast So Fierce in the 1950s, while incarcerated in San Quentin State Prison. He spent the next two decades in and out of jail, writing essays for various magazines and working on the novel, which was finally published in 1973. Eighteen months later, the book was used as evidence that he was fit to leave jail. He received parole, and spent the rest of his life a free man.

Spellbinding
The most gripping story I’ve read this year. A look inside a terrible but exciting world.

GREAT
Really enjoyed this look at the outside from inside the mind of a prisoner and criminal.... The protagonist manages to garner your sympathy and empathy while at the same time telling of acts of great violence (be warned the more sensitive listener)... The narrator had a slightly nasal voice but I became accustomed to it and in the end it suited the character...
