5.0 out of 5 stars Strong stuff, 21 Jan 2004

By	Strath_Bookworm (Scotland) - See all my reviews

An excellent collection from one of Britain's top contemporary poets. Anti-establishment, and a perfect snapshop of some sections of the Britain of the 2000s. If you are a fan, you'll not be disappointed, if you are new to BZ, this is a great intoduction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as other works..., 23 Jan 2004

By	"manby4ever" - See all my reviews

As expected, it would have been impossible to reach up to the standards of face and refugee boy, but this is still a pretty good book! Written in a similar style to his other books, this is not a novel but poetry, criticism and drama. it's worth a read.
