The Resurrection of Brian Cockerill

Rate this book
"Brian Cockerill was once a brutal gangland enforcer who climbed the criminal ladder taxing drug dealers for fun. A six-foot-three, 24-stone man mountain with the freakish strength of a gorilla, Brian was linked with and fought some of the hardest men in England.

Brian started taking the drugs he was taxing, which led to many years of addiction, depression, and anxiety that cost him everything he had but his home. The ""Taxman"" who had made thousands ended up broke and a recluse. Brian finally started to turn his life around in 2019 and has now started to put his efforts into educating youngsters on the importance of how not to live a life of crime.

The Brian Cockerill is the hard-hitting, brutally truthful story of regret and repentance and Brian's journey from the dark to the light.

Repetitive.

Good read, some interesting facts but a bit repetitive. Not the best written book you will ever read to be honest, a bit rushed it seemed to me. However a good insight to this hard man and his life. Not much new stuff, most of it been written before. But give it a go, Bri has turned his life around and deserves his moment in print.

A top hit again

This book is by far Jamie's best book,The book is written completely different to his others books like Lee Duffys and Paul Sykes and although they gripped you to the end this book really makes you feel that Brian has changed his ways. Well done on her another hit

Thoroughly enjoyed the honesty. People saying the taxman book was better. Stevie Richards didn't get everythijg right in that. This is the real Brian.
