annarella 's review for:

London, Burning by Anthony Quinn
5.0

A dark, gripping and well researched book that made me understand what was London at the end of the 70s.
It's a mythical time if you think of the musical scene but it was also a bleak time on the politica and social side.
The book is well researched and there are plenty of references to papers, the characters are fleshed even if not always likeable.
It was an interesting, informative and fascinating read as the author is a good storyteller.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
