A truly insightful and mature read. Really took me back to my days in Levenshulme as David’s view of those days really resonated with me. Can’t believe I am not in it but fingers crossed for book number 2. Well done Dave – you are a worthy winner. Anita x

Proper book
Superb book . Captures the heart of Manchester. A must read for any mancunian.
as well researched as it is written, cuts through Manchester’s myths and tells stories sadly seldom told of the UKs greatest city.
Grit! The lad’s got rocks in his shoes and strides through Manc’s narthern landscape documenting and celebrating; take me to book two.
