Publisher's Summary

Your fear is their entertainment... Andrew's life is one of bored contentedness: a teenage daughter, a faithful wife, and a middle-class job. He even has a Mercedes. His life is without drama, and the comfort of middle-age is setting in. That all changes when he refuses to buy a pack of cigarettes for the local gang of youths. Led by the emotionally unstable, and sadistic, Frankie, the gang target Andrew and his family in an escalating campaign of terror and violence that threatens their very lives. It isn't long before Andrew starts to wish that he'd just brought those damn cigarettes.

Pay 1/2 price b/c the book is only 50% good!

The first half of ASBO was quite good. However, after the "main event," it's all quickly downhill on ice right into a huge pine tree. Do not recommend.

Disturbing

Where does ASBO rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

A very good book. Even more terrifying, because I can see this one actually happening.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Andrew, I feel horrible for him.. his whole life goes to hell in a matter of hours and just gets worse as time goes on,

Which character – as performed by Nigel Patterson – was your favorite?

Frankie. A true psychopath. Nigel Patterson did great with all the voices though. He has a very pleasant voice, a pleasure to listen to.

Any additional comments?

Audiobook received for an honest review.

It made me sick to my stomach !! Brilliant

What made the experience of listening to ASBO the most enjoyable?

ASBO on Audiobook
* Sickening
* Depraved
* Morally Debased
* Intimidating
* Wretched
* Bloody Brilliant
* RealIy love love loved this book, I loved it because it felt real, real in the way you would imagine these reprobates to be.So Bravo to Narrator Nigel Patterson.This indeed is a novel of extreme violent terror made sickeningly real by the fact it is based on real event,we all know that do and can happen!This is not for the faint hearted at all , if you are of a nervous disposition i suggest you dont listen to this .I listened to this on audiobook and I am so glad I did. I haven't read or heard anything so intense in a long time and would have found it difficult to see and feel the change in Andrew,the mild mannered family man to the violent murderer he becomes, by myself.The characters are all strong from the beginning and the storyline flowed all the way through, sometimes such a hard intense storyline fizzles out, not this one, I was holding my ribs and breath for mostly the whole book!The vile characters made me sick to my stomach the things they did , yet, I couldn't stop listening. Isn't it strange how we cant stop though its awful?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Andrew was defending his family as much as he could but seemed not to be able to do anything I felt quite helpless!
