A tepid and sad collection of stories. With the exception of White Burger Danny. A short "Epic" that goes as close as possible to summing up the scene as it was back in the late 80's. Irvine Welsh's State of the Party rates quite well, but this had already been serialised in full in Sky? Magazine.
There are some real turkeys in this collection. Nicholas Blincoe's 'Ardwick Green' should be recommended as an NHS sedative. It is tedious to say the least. The stand out contributions are Dean Cavanagh's 'Mile High Meltdown' which is genuinely funny and twisted and Irvine Welsh's 'State of The Party'. These two are only ones who can possibly claim to be writers. Well worth buying for Dean Cavanagh's contribution alone.
