''By now I had hair like Ian Brown and some vintage '70s Levis I'd wear with a pair of maroon Converse... I looked pretty cool come to think of it, but my mind was shot, having sunk into a permanent low-grade jittery cannabis psychosis.''
I'm still undecided about this book. Rubbish or genius? You decide... .if you can, because I just couldn't.
If you'd like a more traditional view of childhood, Bookbag can recommend [[Keeping Mum]] by Brian Thompson and the atmospheric [[Hellfire and Herring]] by Christopher Rush. For fiction, we can recommend [[Teach Her by Mark Kotting]].
