"A grotesque, horrifying, repellent and gorgeous book;
A Clockwork Orange come to life." –John Gregory Dunne
An important, perhaps prophetic, book ... both exciting and sad at the core.... [Buford is] a superbly talented reporter. –
The New York Times Book Review Brilliant ... one of the most unnerving books you will ever read. –
Newsweek Like Michael Herr or Ryszard Kapuscinski, Buford has witnessed events which can only be compared in intensity to those of a war ... an unflinching look into the festering soul of England ... a fuckin' great read. –David Byrne
Animated, witty, and so pungent you can taste the stale lager. –
Washington Post Book World
