review 1: Classic Milward again, what more can you say about that lad that hasn't already been written, he's a writer, a male human, a philanthropist, a poet, a good egg with morals and brilliant mind, he puts his thoughts down on paper and sells them to earn his crust, priceless crack all round that. This books as good as anything I've read and I've read some classics, the bible was good, mein kampf didn't really grab me but neither of them had my full attention like this Milward classic. There's no point beating about the bush when it comes to reading books I always say and I didn't with ten story love song, i had to sack werk that week believe me, I just phoned up and said " ere there's no chance of seeing me this week I'm reading Richard Milwards new offering so I'll see you nex... moret Monday " what a week it was, I stock piled pastys, sausage rolls and pies from Gregg's made sure I had plenty of tins of beans and got stuck in, again I was left with a wonderful feeling of achievement and had to be coaxed back to graft with the threat of a written warning.I love story's me, they're off it.
review 2: I enjoyed this book, but I think it was aimed at a much younger reader! I found Bobby rather frustrating, although also endearing.There is a very clear Irvine Welsh influence here, although not nearly so dark - more Diet Coke than Irn Bru (not a criticism, more an observation).The lack of chapters and almost complete absence of paragraphs was trying at times, but it was in keeping with the feel of the story.I would recommend it for late teens/young twenties - perhaps not so appropriate for a thirty-something mother of three! less

I really enjoyed the pacing and style of this book. Different than anything I have ever read.

urban, original, british slang, uncannily poetic imagery, loveable characters, favorite.

I liked it, but it's a quick read, with about three good characters and some hanger-ons.
