I love the read about Liverpool
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Hard hitting straight to the point and names all the big names, fantastic reading Graham well done again. If you like reading books set in Liverpool try Soft Target by Conrad Jones its a cracker. Both superb !!

Gripping - gets you by the balls!

It could have been easy to dislike this book: written by a seasoned tabloid crime hack, it dishes the dirt on how gangsters have tried to muscle in on football - and frequently succeeded. The writer is an unashamed cynic about his own profession, making no apologies for the behaviour of 'Her Majesty's Press' (a phrase nicked, I believe, from the brilliant comedy Hot Metal), but he tells it like it is and, moreover, delivers each fascinating story with a grim humour and an elegant turn of phrase. More than that, he names names - big ones too! Rooney, Gerrard, Owen (oh yes!)...they're all there, Liverpool clearly being the author's area of expertise.

Recently, a proposed book dealing with the seamier side of Wayne Rooney's story, Roo Unzipped, was strangled at birth through fear of legal action, but there is plenty here to reveal the dark side behind the boy wonder (little of it of his own doing, to be fair...but the people who surround him are a different matter).

I guess football and crime are both 'bloke' preoccupations, so female readers might get a little bored, but I for one found it (to coin a literary word that sounds as though it ought to have been a football word) 'unputdownable'.
