Pressestimmen

'Vivid, splashy and mesmerising' -- Independent 'Dangerously addictive' -- Tatler 'Picassos and promise, racketeering and respect ... a stark and moving tribute to a complicated but loyal goodfella' -- Independent on Sunday 'An extraordinary tale of life after prison with a dangerous, delightful friend' -- Big Issue 'He takes you inside his world of pain, and it's like a small, brightly lit cell ... Life, Frey tells us, is pretty disturbing and weird when you're out of your head. But try living it sober' -- The Spectator 'When a book proves difficult to put down, you know you're on to a good thing' -- Irish News 'Beautiful, sad, potent, irresistible' -- Elle The idea of reading about the road to recovery of someone whose lifestyle I could neither condone nor understand didn't inspire me at all. WRONG!!! Within two pages all prejudice was forgotten and I immediately felt an empathy with the main character.' -- Jane Eyre, Leeds
