The Dirty South

Customer Reviews

must read - By: E. Barton, 14 Jun 2008
This is a must read for anyone who wants to start to understand the youth culture that has led to so many stabbings & shootings in London in recent months. Written in Alex's usual gripping & immediate style I was grabbed by the narrative right from the start. The "street language" can be challlenging, but you soon get used to it (and if you're like me have to be careful not to start using it yourself!). Alex lives within the community about which he writes & clearly has observed the culture he talks about first hand. Keenly observed & with strong characterisation you get caught up with the action & live the events, so as the action unfolds you start to understand the main character's motivation. If you enjoy this you ought to read East of Acre Lane about the previous generation & Island Song about the one before who arrived in Brixton in the 50s/60s.
