I'm still looking forward to the book but I just hate 2nd person, it's so surreal to read. Still, poetically written I suppose, should be an interesting read at this rate.

Half of it's first person, and the second person isn't jarring with me. I'm 3/4 way through and I think Ben's done it very well - major fans will spot a few inaccuracies and facts squeezed in, but I'm finding the Richey voice convincing.
Been reading the proof but just been sent a publication copy, and was shocked to see a certain resemblance in the pic of Ben on the inside back cover - anyone else seen it?! Last edited by Oh Nick...!; 18-09-2010 at 11:59.

I'll maybe pick this up at some point when it goes down a little bit in price. Might be an interesting read to be honest.

I cannot bring myself to believe Richey would summarise a crowd merely as "forty paying punters". Therefore I'm out.

"4 REAL, innit mate" I say, giving Lamaq a cheeky wink and a jovial punch on the arm. Forty paying punters. Chas and Dave get a hundred times that on a rainy night.

That extract is indeed a bit weird... I'm still curious though, will wait for a discount or a second hand copy.
