I enjoyed this ... very anecdotal about life on the doors and the problems that arose. It was interesting how the author recognised his behavioural changes the longer he did the job. Short and snappy.

I firstly need to point out that the book I read is the updated version of Show No Fear, which the updated version is called Show No Fear Redux.

Show No Fear Redux a Bouncers Diary is basically an autobiography of the authors own accounts of his time as a bouncer.

I have to say there is a lot more to being a bouncer than I first thought, at least to be a good one anyway. The author walks us through his teenage years when he was first introduced to karate and starting his bouncer career.

What follows is an array of true stories of situations that the author and his work colleagues faced on a normal nights work.

There are quite a few humorous parts in this book as well as some sad. There are quite a few people that the author worked with through his career that I would love to have met as they certainly stood out to me. Particularly one certain lady that sounded like a lot of fun who ran one of the places that he worked for.

Overall this is a great book that gives us readers an insight into the life of a bouncer and certainly makes for an interesting read. Don't be expecting lots of blood and fights as you will be sorely disappointed, even though there is some in there that is only a small part of the story. This book will show you that there's a lot more thinking actually goes on than just lashing out and hitting people, I certainly think it will surprise some readers.

Many thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book was pretty cool. My older brother was a bouncer at a strip club in Vegas for several years and the stories he told were mind blowing. I liked that this book did the same, and tells about real experiences and how people really act. It’s got some language and violence (of course), but it is a fun read. I finished it in a few hours (it isn’t very long) and I think there could have been more included, but what was there was awesome. Easy to read and entertaining.

Oh my goodness! If you want to look inside the mind of a safety expert with personality.

No great shakes, but a readable account of a brit's career as club bouncer.
