Pixie:Inside A World Of Drugs, Sex And Violence

by Andrea Mohr

Andrea Mohr's CV is an eye-opening drug runner, hostess, money launderer, drug dealer and importer amongst other things. Alongside this was a glamorous life filled with travel, movie stars and easy money. But the dark side of drugs and addiction eventually saw her serve five years jail for importing 5.5 kilograms of cocaine into Australia. Andrea was sent to Deer Park, a maximum security women's prison, a violent, corrupt, mismanaged facility where there were more drugs inside than outside, and where one of her fellow inmates nicknamed her Pixie. In Pixie she looks back on her involvement in drug smuggling that took her to exotic locations around the world including Columbia, the USA, Thailand and Indonesia. Andrea introduces us to the people she meets and gives us a rare insight into a criminal world few know. It's a frank and shockingly truthful account of a life filled with dizzying highs - with terrible consequences. Her book is a blend of vivid dialogue, unforgettable characters, amazing adventures and evocations of the violence of prison life. But as a sub-text Andrea explores police corruption and the outcomes of justice and punishment.

Saint? what a joke!
Says on the cover...An explosive tale of life on the edge... with no regrets
Honestly, Andrea should have lots of regrets. I wonder how many lives and families she ruined because of the drugs that she helped smuggle!!!
She made a fortune (from the addicts) and had a life of luxury without even considering the lives of others! I am so glad she got caught!
Then to whinge about the prison system, to me, the way she wrote the book, sounded as if they had things pretty good and probably more than they deserved!
Boasting and throwing in names of the famous...were we supposed to be impressed?
This book made me so angry and angrier to think she probably made a fortune out of it! I bought mine at a St Vincent store and it cost me $1. Even that was too much!
A criminal is a criminal, their choice. I don't know why people think they deserve so much more.
Go ahead...read the book, but don't feel sorry for her. She is not the victim that she makes herself out to be.

I thought it was a good read and it made me realize how Blessed I am to have been brought up in a Christian home.
