 Borrow, don't buyJun 06, 2004
By Jeffrey Delbosque
Very elementary, could have been written by anyone; including a priest. No "blow you away" secrets here. All common sense, with a couple of stupid tips to make sure you get arrested, such as approaching police in other countries and bribing them to find cocaine sources. Thought it would be an interesting read of an experienced trafficker, instead it was a short, "thrown together" book of common sense. Almost unreadable, don't buy it. All the 5 star reviews here are most definitely friends, or the author himself.

 This is the real McCoy - the how to for smugglingMar 26, 2000
By LagoonCrow
"LagoonCrow"
This book is exactly what it claims to be - an actual how to book for smuggling. I wouldn't be surprised if the DEA or FBI monitor those who actually buy this book. I bought it to help me with some insight for some fiction I want to write, and this smuggling book delivers (pun intended). The book deals with attitude (an important consideration for this profession, I would imagine), fake ID, crossing borders, dealing with lots of money, dealing with the justice system, and more. For the flip side to this "how to" book, the actual narrative of "Inside the Cocaine Cartel" shares comparable information in the context of a fascinating story line. This book says a lot of what "Inside..." doesn't. This book is exactly what it claims to be, and it doesn't disappoint.

Extremely Well Written, Good InformationAug 19, 2001
By Imperial Topaz
Gosh--if someone were truly thinking of entering the drug-smuggling profession, they should buy this book, as it gives very sound advice. Personally, I'm thinking of writing a novel, and including some drug-smuggling characters. This book gave me complete information for an excellent character profile. I was shocked at some of the information included, as I feel certain chapters should have been classified information (to protect against terroists). I really liked the style in which the book was written, as well--very direct, and easy to read. A REALLY EXCELLENT book.

Certain Parts Need To Be Read By Everyone!!!May 18, 2002
By Aaron C. Padgett
Every Man, Woman, and Child should read this book. In a way it will teach you more than you should know, but overall, it teaches you the same outcome(Death, Jail, Snitching). The beginning of the book tell you that even the hardest person will snitch to reduce their sentence. Your friends, people you have know for years will turn against you to help themselves. For anyone thinking about getting into the drug game or any criminal act, this book is a crystal ball to your future. You won't waste your money. Only for mature minds!

 Suprisingly goodJul 01, 2009
By J. Kloepping
"jkloepping"
As others have pointed out, this is a short book, and therefore it is more of an overview than a thorough "how-to". I first read "Tales from the Joint" by the same author, and I enjoyed it so much I thought I'd give this a try also. This is also an excellent book, with some great stories and some suprisingly good advice that can be applied to many situations outside of drug smuggling.
