Mr. Nice by Howard Marks5/30/2023 He was released the same day as Mike Tyson. The writing is direct and the narrative will detain you as comprehensively as Marks himself was detained for seven years at Terre Haut Penitentiary, Indiana. It's not hard to see why this has become a cult book-Marks is a brilliant version of a mate down the pub, telling you the gobsmacking stories of his many adventured life. This book is called Mr Nice after one of the many aliases Marks's life as a merchant of pot obliged him to assume, but it describes him perfectly too: the epitome of British niceness, the nicest international criminal you could hope to meet. His autobiography takes him from his South Wales childhood and Oxford University education through his life dealing marijuana and the enormous mythology that accrued around what the tabloids called "the English Toff Drugs King of the World". What an extraordinary fellow Howard Marks is.
