Brilliant read - you can't leave the ending like that! When's the next book?
Anette and Andy - Kettering

Really good read. Exciting - I neglected my housework to read it! Wasn't long enough. Brilliant.
Jill - King's Lynn Scooter Club

Loved the read, especially the price of records! Wish I could pay that now. I would recommend it to anyone.
Gazza - Sheffield

This book is the best thing I have read in years. I just couldn't put it down. Keep the Faith.
Trendy Marc - Self Preservation Society Scooter Club

Brilliant, best book in ages. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one.
Bev - Swindon In Crowd Scooter Club

An excellent read for anyone that was around in the 70's or has a general interest in the Northern Soul/Mod scene at the time. It's easy to read and captures the thoughts and feelings of the day well - and I should know because I was there. Definitely recommended.
Karen - Florida

Couldn't put the book down until it was finished and then read it again. Hope they make the movie. I would recommend this novel to anyone into Scooters and Northern Soul.

The book was brilliant - I loved it sooooo much. Reminds me a bit of my life (but much much much more exciting) . . .

Crackin' up ---- Crackin' read. Even if you're not a fan of northern soul music this book offers you an insight into the world of one of the greatest youth cultures in British history. The chapters are short and very easily read making you snatch time to read the next one, in fact I actually read the whole book in one sitting - the read was so compelling. I'm not sure whether you are supposed to like the lead character or not as you go through the full gamut of emotions whilst reading it. Summing up, this book grips you at the start and it then refuses to let you go until the last word is read.
Dave - Dundee

The book is well written and the sort that once started is quite difficult to put down. There are loads of references to the (Northern Soul) scene and music played, gear taken. In a similar vein to Quadrophenia but set later on (when mods were just scooter boys and loved Northern). It gets quite raunchy in parts - you will love it, as I did.
Pete - Australia

Read it - you'll love it.
If you were there you will be reminded of your youth; if you weren't you'll wish you had been. Great characters, great humour. A must read for those who would like to know about the early Northern Soul scene.
A reader from Newcastle

Wasn't sure what to expect, but it became a book I could not put down. Really takes you back! The ending came too soon but I will be reading it again.
Recommended to any soul fans.
Steve - "Suffolk Souls" - Ipswich

Brilliant story. Reminds me of myself.
JP - Melton Mowbray

First Class Story. Absolutely brilliant, brought all the soulful memories flooding back. If you like scooters, skinheads and Northern Soul then buy this . . it sums up the whole thing.

A very good read. Good luck with the follow up.
Tomo - Newport Dragons Scooter Club

Absolutely magnificent. One of the best pulp novels that I've read. Beats the Richard Allen books and more recent books such as Casual hands down, and they were pretty good in their own right.

Smashing. Great. Super! Loved it!

If you can't relate to it, then you wasn't there - so read the book. Fantastic life history of Mods/Skins.

Poor Kenny!! Wot an end. Brill book. Good luck with the film.

The best book I've ever read.
