English Shaun #1
Party Time: Raving Arizona
"The UK rave scene meets The Wolf of Wall Street and ends in The Shawshank Redemption" - Jon Ronson author of The Psychopath Test Shaun Attwood arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, a penniless business graduate from a small industrial town in England. Within a decade, he became a stock-market millionaire. But he was leading a double life. After taking his first Ecstasy pill at a rave in Manchester as a shy student, Shaun became intoxicated by the party lifestyle that would change his fortune. Years later, in the Arizona desert, Shaun became submerged in a criminal underworld, throwing parties for thousands of ravers and running an Ecstasy ring in competition with the Mafia mass murderer Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano. As greed and excess tore through his life, Shaun had eye-watering encounters with Mafia hit men and crystal-meth addicts, enjoyed extravagant debauchery with superstar DJs and glitter girls, and ingested enough drugs to kill a herd of elephants. This is his story.

About the author
Shaun Attwood
60 books345 followersIn prison, I read over 1000 books in just under six years, including many literary classics. Books were the lifeblood of my rehabilitation.
As told on National Geographic Channel's Locked-Up/Banged-Up Abroad episode "Raving Arizona," I used a tiny pencil sharpened on a cell door to write the first prison blog, Jon’s Jail Journal. My writing, smuggled out of the jail with the highest rate of death in America, run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, turned the international media spotlight on the human rights violations, including guards murdering mentally ill inmates, dead rats in the food, lack of medical care...
Raised in a small chemical-manufacturing town in northern England, I was the first from my family to go to university. As a penniless graduate, I took my business degree to Phoenix, and worked my way up to become a stock-market millionaire.
But I also led a double life. An early fan of the Manchester rave scene, I headed an organisation that threw raves and distributed Ecstasy. On May 16th 2002, a SWAT team knocked my door down.
Facing a life sentence, I entered a lengthy legal battle. After two years of being held unsentenced, I was convicted of drug offences. Sentenced to 9½ years, I served almost 6.
I had only read finance books prior to my arrest. While incarcerated, I submerged myself in literature. By studying original texts in psychology and philosophy, I sought to better understand myself and my past behaviour.
Released in December 2007, I continue to campaign against Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I keep my blog, Jon’s Jail Journal, going by posting stories mailed to me by my prison friends.
In July 2008, I won a Koestler award for a short story, which I read to an audience at the Royal Festival Hall.
I presently live near London, and talk to schools across the UK about my jail experience and the consequences of getting involved in drugs and crime.

More Shaun Attwood
Having really enjoyed his book Hard Time I managed to pick this up on the cheap (possibly free, can't remember) and it's not as good but still enjoyable. I think the subject matter is perhaps less interesting as once you read a few stories of his drug fuelled antics you pretty much know what you're in for the rest of the book. Very repetitive to the point of getting annoying and at times leaving you to wonder how much of this is true and how much wildly exaggerated at best. Having said all of that, I still enjoyed it and don't feel like I've wasted my time reading it.

In Hard Time we heard the fascinating tale of Attwood's downfall when it all went wrong and he ended up on remand in what is reputed to be America's toughest prison. Party Time takes us back a few years, touching briefly on Atwood's early years before charting his rise and eventual fall that Hard Time documented so well.
Young Shaun had ambition and an eye for a profit that suggested a successful career lay ahead, but a casual introduction to raves and recreational drugs sowed the seed that ultimately meant that his destiny lay elsewhere. A bright future beckoned when a move to America gave Attwood the chance to make his fortune in the stock market - an opportunity that he grasped with both hands.
However, temptation and trouble lay around the corner and it wasn't long before raves and recreational drugs began to derail his attempt at a legitimate career. Atwood began to see this as a business opportunity and soon he was "English Shaun", supplier and friend to a growing band of party animals who needed drugs to have fun.
Much of the book is devoted to Atwood's time as a dealer and user of a bewildering array of drugs. We meet a menagerie of characters who become part of his empire and join him as he somehow manages to hold things together through a drug induced haze. It could easily have come across as the boastings of a hedonist. And it does.
But it's all part of the story. Party Time is a collection of escapades that catalogues the events that led Atwood to prison. It could easily have become a tedious trawl through anecdote after anecdote but this is never allowed to happen because each episode is kept short without padding it out. There are scenes that will astound the reader for a variety of reasons, mainly because they actually happened (although I'm thinking artistic licence may have been used on occasion to fill in the odd memory gap!).
Party Time charges through a succession of highs and lows as Atwood's life races out of control and begins to crumble in the way that those kinds of lives tend to, and then before the reader gets the chance to be bored it's all over and the police are knocking the door down. And anyone who's read Hard Time knows what happens next.
Regardless of how you view the way that Shaun Attwood has chosen to lead his life, there is no escaping that fact that like its predecessor Hard Time, Party Time is a fascinating account of that life. Atwood has a lean, fast paced writing style that means no chapter is longer than it needs to be. This keeps the story moving and holds the reader's interest throughout. I would recommend Party Time to anyone who wants to read a crazy story about how things can go too far and the inevitable result.

What can I say apart from he has done it again.
After reading “Lessons from a Drug Lord” I was really looking forward to reading more from the English Shaun series, and I must say, it didn’t disappoint. As I am yet to read “Hard Time” or “Prison Time” I am unsure what happened when he was inside, but one thing I am sure of is that he crafted his writing skills to a fine art. This book flowed and captivated me from the first page to the last. With an effortless writing style that made it hard, if not impossible, to put down. Finishing this 288 page book took me less than 2 days, which for me is sort of amazing.
The mood is set with a brilliant first chapter that is so evocative it almost makes me wish I was born in the heady days of the rave scene. His fears and anxieties melting away with the chemical taste of Ecstasy and the beginning of what will lead to a dazzling story of sex, drugs and dance music.
We then step into a time machine to learn about Shaun’s past in his small home town. Stories of days spent with Wild Man in the ‘Thinking Tree’ lead you to realise that, in Shaun, there has always been this thirst for success and adventure that would eventually lead to his downfall.
After moving to be with his aunt in Phoenix, Shaun leads us into his life as a trader and his discovery of the blossoming rave scene in Arizona. Here we discover the “wolves” who will inevitably call him to the slaughter. Fed by the lifestyle and fame that came with his ‘enterprise’ Shaun builds an empire on the backs of his friends and students who are infatuated by the “English Shaun” persona. In the end, as is expected, it all comes crashing down.
There are many moments where you really feel the sincerity and kindness of Shaun, especially when talking about his close circle of friends or girlfriends. Wild Man, although clearly crazy and very dangerous (don’t come after me please!) is a loveable rouge.
I am left feeling frustrated that he didn’t meet Claudia earlier in his life so that maybe he wouldn’t have gone so far down this path. She comes across as being his guardian angel, who he describes in such fond and cute terms. There is real affection there and it is a shame that life took them in opposite direction.
Overall one of the best books I have read in the true crime genre and I sincerely recommend it.
5 out of 5 stars!!

Much longer than the first edition!
This book is a fast-paced spiral into drug crazed insanity. It's a true story that will blow your mind. Having read the first edition years ago, I decided to try the second, which includes even more stories than the first and even crazier! Attwood really takes you there with his descriptions. For example "Next room. Fashion show. A stage lit pink and blue by filtered spotlights fixed to metal ladder structures. A woman struts on the runway in a tight shirt with silver flames, a jacket dangling from her elbows, blue leopard print with combed white plush drooping from the bottom, bright-pink patent vinyl trousers completing the look. Primo walks on in a white suit hand-painted with orange and green stripes and spots, his torso naked and hairless, carrying a tray with glasses and a pitcher patio set, seven-inch-thick platform heels on circus shoes, with grey vacuum cleaner tubes spiralling around his ankles. A woman in a white faux-rabbit-fur bolero crop jacket over nude breasts sashays with strength and confidence, a Betty Boop tattoo peeking out of white thong panties, curves dressing her up."
I highly recommend this, and the new edition of hard time.

I don't think I've ever flew through a book as fast as this. Fast paced and very hard to put down. It very much reminded me of The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test due to the colourful characters and shear craziness of the drug parties, Shaun being the Ken Casey of the 90s.
I almost only gave it 4 stars because of the way it abruptly ends but didn't think it would be fair with it being a prequel. looking forward to following the story on with Hard Time

Great read which leaves you aghast at the hedonisms of the 90s rave scene in Arizona.
The bad-boy author wins sympathy from the reader as we see him go from aspirational younger banker to the head of an underworld drugs cartel.
The array of characters with their drug dealer code-names does get confusing some times but there's so much going on, you don't so much mind if you can't keep up with who is who.

Party time is a prequel to hard time and its really good. It gives you an overview about Shaun life that lead him to the jail. Its well written, really enjoyable to read. This book gives me a view about drug scene in US and how drugs can change someone life.
April 14, 2018
Excellent and exciting read! I couldn't put it down! It really helped me to gain an insight into the drug culture in Arizona. This book is really well-written and easy to follow and would recommend to anyone! I've been to a few of Shaun's talks now and this book really compliments them well.

Thats a lot of drugs

What a ride. The pills thrills and spills. Only the fact I knew the ending lost a star having read Hard Times. Some remarkable characters.

I got this Audio edition free via a discount code from the Author for a honest review of the book.
I found this book really interesting, Exciting and it gives people an insight into the drug scene and how they can affect you and how the drugs can change your life, I have read Hard Times, So also wanted to read this one. It was well written and tells you how Shaun started to run raves and what it was like to become a top drug dealer, Thinking he'd probably never get caught, This book tells you how the police caught up with him and what it was like to be in prison abroad.
The only thing that spoilt my enjoyment was the narration of the book, The drawl of the American voice just didn't work for me, I think it would be better with an English narrator and to be told more like a story and not like just someone reading words off a page. Thanks to Shaun Attwood for allowing me to have this book and I look forward to reading/listening to your other books as I love your true life story.

A wild ride for old school ravers!
I was always entertained when reading this book. Shaun's quirky, and descriptive writing always kept me intruiged. The book feels like listening to a guy who's seen some insane things in his life. I am glad to have had the pleasure of experiencing Shaun's American adventures.
Another reason I loved this book is due to my fascination with the 90s rave scene. This was around the time I started going to raves and parties. The book has a lot of content around this that brought back fond memories.
I would definitely recommend this book to fellow ravers of that time period. If that isn't you and if you are someone with a distaste for that culture, then you might not enjoy the book as much.
Overall, still a great read and can't wait to jump into Shaun's next book.

Party Time is the first part of Shaun's story of his life as a millionaire stock-market trader who swapped stocks and shares for ectsasy and raves in the Arizona desert.
Telling his tale with honesty, humour and insight, Shaun takes us through the chemically enhanced highs of the American dream to a nightmare world of mafia mass-murderers where kidnapping, torture and violence are commonplace.
With a crazy cast of characters whose 24 hour party lifestyles inevitably lead them to circumstances far beyond their control, Party Time is a lurid, strobelit snapshot of a time when the counter culture danced to the beat of different drums and the music was so loud they couldn't hear the world fall apart. It's a cracking read that will almost certainly leave you wanting to read more.

I was first drawn to Shaun's stories after watching all 4 of his appearances on The True Geordie Podcast. Fascinated by his journey, I purchased the English Shaun Trilogy. Having shown an interest to Shaun's content, I was eager to start Party Time and did so shortly after getting it. What a brilliant read! Its well written, open and honest and doesn't spare details. The stories in this book alone will have you feeling all kinds of emotions, there's parts that are sad but also parts that will make you laugh. Its crazy the amount of stories there are in this book and its before Shaun even went to prison. Definitely give this book a go if you haven't yet!

I first noticed Shaun Attwood as a guest on a you tube channel, I now follow his own channel, it's hard to believe from his now humble and friendly persona that not so long ago he was living such an outrageous out of control lifestyle.
I totally enjoyed reading this open and extremely candid chapter of his life, personally I indulged in the same era of raves, guest lists and after party's.
If you read this as an outsider you may struggle with the debauchery of excessive drug consumption
But its probably the most accurate account of a certain level of the rave seen I've read, a great page turner, I will definitely be looking forward to the second chapter of this trilogy very shortly

What a book! Shaun's story of his life from Widnes to Arizona is a compelling read. There are events, experiences and characters along the way who everyone of a certain generation will instantly relate to. The author recreates the atmosphere of raves and rave culture very accurately and the spectacular individuals who numbered in his team. Likewise Attwood captures the element of fear when in very deep trouble.
This is the first time I've shouted "NO!!!" at a chapter!

It's a pretty good book, if you're into that sort of thing: It's about the drug-fueled "raves" around and about Phoenix, AZ in the 80s & 90s. Now, I was never into the "raves," nor the party drugs like "Molly" or MDMA or Extacy, but I did live in the Phoenix area during the time so I interested in the corruption of the Maricopa county Sheriff's dept and all the mistakes and illegal proceedings that occurred. Shawn's a great and exciting writer, indeed.

Good read but abrupt ending.
Given the four star rating given by other readers, I was excited when I purchased this book. I came away disappointed. It was an ok book, not as compelling as I thought it be. The characters to me were just not that interesting. Decent read but the ending was somewhat abrupt.

An amazing book
Shaun’s story is simply incredible. Being from England myself it’s interesting to read about another Person from England in the rave scene in America. I love raves so it’s interesting to hear about his experiences. Personally I do prefer hard time, but this book is still incredible. He has a fantastic way of writing, this book is a must read.

Reads like a fictional book
I find Shaun's books enjoyable but dislike his writing style, it reads like a fictional book not a biography.
Drones on endlessly sometimes and I'm sure we don't need to no the ins and outs of his sex life. Needless to say I skipped a fair amount of it
Otherwise still a fairly good read

Very interesting account of the “rave” scene in Arizona, a whole bunch of crazy characters, the drug trade, etc. But at a higher level it’s a great account of how a typical, educated noncriminal can get sucked into crime (and prison), and potentially and almost unwittingly throw an entire life away. Great read.

A cautious tale of ambition (temporarily) gone awry
This was a page turner that will be difficult to put down. It’s a five star book if based purely on entertainment value. It has some excellent life lessons contained in its gripping and exciting story.

Great story from a drug dealers perspective
Its a good story but it's only part of the story. Minimum mentioning of the problems his drugs caused his adoring fans. The story is a fast, interesting and worthwhile, recommended read.
