Very gritty urban brit crime story, which reminded me of the films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch. It has a fair amount of violence, nothing over the top graphic and quite a lot of swearing, as you would expect from this type of story.  The writer also manages to slip a subtle level of witty humour into the layers of the storyline, often so fast it is barely discernible. I enjoyed it and it was almost a five star occasion, except for one thing. They laughed too much. Now and again in certain situations it was right on the button, but in others I think the writer should have opted for more of his witty repertoire instead of using the laughter as a bridge. Other than that it was a cracking read.
