5.0 out of 5 stars Strong stuff, 21 Jan 2004
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
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.
