Despite the fact that Lee is not a particularly likeable character (no remorse for his life of crime) I did enjoy reading the book and think it will make a decent film.

A gripping read from a member of the “Millennium Dome Heist” crew — though the heist itself is just a small part of the story. The real focus is on a boy seemingly born for crime, always scheming for the next illegal payday. Lee shows no remorse, taking pride in his exploits, failed or not, and even his prison time comes across as smooth and untroubled.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publishers for this ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Fascinating story from one of the "Millenium Dome Heist" crew. However that is only a very small part of the book and to be honest the rest of the book was far more interesting than that.
This is the tale of a boy who was always going to be involved in crime. Boredom set in if he wasn't planning and scheming, thinking of new ideas to make more money the wrong side of the law. Trudging back and forth across his fathers' farm fields with his sacks of money to fund his lifestyle of fast cars, flash clothes and holidays.
At no point do you sense that Lee is repentant for his crime. He comes across as very proud of what he achieved, even the failed jobs meant he was still "someone". Even his time inside, which it does not go into a great detail of, comes across as very "smooth".
