A tale of growing up in oppressive years of the 1980s. Partly surreal it tells of one young man's agonies over the past, present and future. Contains some strong language and adult themes.
"Its a strange read (in a good way) atmospheric and genre-hopping - switches voices in an interesting way from sci-fi dystopian to rock n roll noir thriller, memoir and some kind of weird drug tainted dream like one might have in a hospital pumped full of pain killers. Can't explain it, but I like it - it's trippy but not in an acid way, more in a sniffin glue kind of way..."
"I wasn't sure what to expect from this book after reading the product description. I was pleasantly surprised.
There are elements of a coming of age novel mixed with nostalgia, but it is the prose and tone of the piece which really drag the reader in.
Skillfully written, the text portrays the past like real memories, refracted and filtered in parts or, in other moments, experienced through emotion and sensation. Never lingering on solid ground, Mr Bull's words guide us through a brief but intense journey.
This is part of a trilogy and I for one am looking forward to part two."
