5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant drugged up fantasy land, 1 Aug 2011

M. Camm (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ten Storey Love Song (Paperback)

I absolutely loved Apples and read it a few years ago at university and probably related to the characters a little. I was worried with Ten Storey Love Song that I wouldn't feel quite the same as the characters are grown adults and perhaps I would not have the same level of patience with their ridiculous decisions...I was completely wrong.

Milward effortlessly creates a drug filled narrative filled with excitement, emotion and humour. Less than 20 pages in, I could not put it down. Only being a few years older than me, I envy his work and ability to write so rawly about life in a council estate.

A brilliant read, surprisingly crude and something to recommend to your mates (although maybe not your mum!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, 1 April 2011

Pete "Smiles" (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ten Storey Love Song (Paperback)

I seriously love this novel! I can't recall the last time I was so touched, laughed so hard and just completely entertained in every way. I'm reading it for the third time, now, andI'm starting to feel I know these characters as well as my real life friends. Just a perfect experience and I cannot rate it highly enough. The moment it arrives on Kindle I'm downloading that too. Just do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing find, 24 Feb 2011

L. Kelly (Sunderland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ten Storey Love Song (Paperback)

I'll admit that when I purchased this book I was completely ignorant of Richard Milward's work, and that I only picked up the title on a whim because I'd forgotten to bring a book to read on a long train journey and this looked to be the most interesting title in the station's branch of WH-Smiths... Never before have I been so glad to be forgetful!

Ten Storey Love Song now ranks as my #1 book of all time, bar none. Written in a very Kerouac fashion (no chapters or paragraphs, just one continuous block of prose)and with a style that reminds me of Hunter S Thompson at his finest. Indeed, I like to think of this book as 'Fear & Loathing in Las 'Boro'.

Poetic, beautiful and somehow making the drudgery of an impoverished life in a Middlesbrough tower block seem romantic, you can't help but fall in love with this book.

Milward's 'Apples' has been heaped with critical praise, went on to become a stage production and is tipped be adapted for TV. But to my mind TSL surpasses his debut by a long way.
