You can check in, but you can never check out
Great read, starts from Tony’s early life, which is really interesting, then leads up to his arrival on Ibiza, and how Pikes become the infamous venue full of incredible stories.If you have ever been to Pikes, this will be an essential read.What a life Tony, what a life...

Okay read but rather repetitive
Basically a book about a bloke who took chances, made lots of money through hardwork despite having a horrible childhood. What amazed me is how many women he claims to have shagged whilst looking like a creepy, camp 1970s moustachioed, not particularly good looking man. I suppose money talks eh girls? Check him out in the Club Tropicana video - he's really not all that. Still he's lived a full, charmed life despite coming across in the book as having double standards where fidelity is concerned and being utterly charmless and dislikeable.

Do you like ibiza, disco's, great stories and hedonism?! Then read this Book!
A great, wonderfully written book that really captures Tony's spirit, but also that of Ibiza.From his early beginnings, to opening the most well known boutique hotel in Ibiza - Freddie Mercury, Grace Jones, George Michael, Kylie, Salt and Peppa - they've all been there and partied with Tony! This book covers it all.It is unadulterated, eye-watering and loads of fun!If only we could all live a life like Tony's. I'm off to find my inner Pike ...

An extraordinary life that would make the most amazing film!
Just finished reading the autobiography on the legendary Mr Pike and I’ve gotta say it’s one of the most mind blowing life stories I’ve ever heard! I’ve always been fascinated about Pikes hotel having heard a lot about it during the times I’ve raved it up on the white isle but never thought to visit myself as I imagined it was strictly a place for VIPs, and I am most definitely a person who Tony would consider a ‘pleb’ hahaaa.. well, now I know everything I’ve ever wanted to know and it’s made me determined I will visit one day and hopefully meet Mr Pike himself, such an iconic place!A few reviewers have questioned whether it is all true as it is so outrageous, I personally think it is too outrageous NOT to be true - to imagine all this up would be no mean feat!Well done Tony fantastic book, like the Wolf of Wall Street before it I hope your story gets made into a film, it would be epic!

An alternative life
I loved the way this man enjoyed his life to the full despite pissing off a lot of people along the way and not caring to much about it. He does not appear to have much of a conscience so he lived a very happy self absorbed life. Good or bad? You decide.Still, i really enjoyed his story and reconnend it

Should I be amazed ?
Save your money unless you want to read about this fella Tony Pike and his many sexual conquests on the white island and around the world. If the tales are true and no doubt they most probably are, it's something that you should really keep to yourself or share with a few close mates instead making a book out of it. Pretty tedious stuff to be honest. I've given it two stars because I did find his life story away and outside of his private (sexual) life pretty interesting, and yet deeply sad at times too.

Ego and a missed opportunity
Disappointed overall... for someone who is clearly charismatic and charming he comes across as very unlikable in the same breath. Wanted more of the Ibiza stories of excess and funny anecdotes and while there are a few, most of the stories are then interjected with how many women he then slept with or fancied him and how big his "member" is.... a rather large ego (which is probably warranted) has spoilt would could of been a wonderful story... if Jay from the Inbetweeners made it to 80, i imagine his book would be like thisShame(although i do feel for him with his awful childhood and later in life health problems)
