Old & out of date - Rated
I was looking forward to reading this, but I found it a really hard read & quite boring. The events take place in the seventies, and don't give a realistic picture of the cocaine smuggling trade of the present day.

If the description said it was from the 70's then maybe I would have known what to expect.

A disapointment and glad I didn't pay for it

Interesting, fun but a bit dated - Rated
Like other readers, the style dates the book, but if you are interested in the content, its a worthy read esp Chapter 5 which gives a great potted history and general information about coke (an abridged and easier read than Cocaine - A Definitive History). The ending was a little disappointing and could do with an update.

Snowblind: A Brief Career in the Cocaine Trade - Rated
Like someone else said this book is a bit of a slow read, nevertheless, itstill makes an interesting read with some parts of the book making itimpossible to put it down and others letting it down. This wouldn't be inmy top 20 books to read, but definitely still worth it, if you've got thepatience.

BUY IT - Rated
This is a very good book. I really enjoyed it and if your thinking of getting it, then do - you wont regret it. The competition scam was my favourite!

A GREAT STORY - Rated
An intelligent, lateral thinking, cheeky, innovative, funny chap Mr Swan, our raconteur and lead charachter is! Good story telling. Great smuggling! This book can easily be enjoyed by people with or without a specific interest in the [drugs] topic and the book deserves to be judged not againt others in the genre but stands up well against any book. I'm glad I took a chance and bought this, however the authors' other book is nowhere near as good (it's still excellent) but to follow up Snowblind is not the easiest task a writer could have.
