Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew
'Hare writes with laconic self-deprecation, black humour and a humane, ever present sense of railing against the system that failed Urban and his gang. The book is as exceptional as the bonds he formed.' -- Tina Jackson, Metro  'A damnation of British society that is both violently shocking and laugh-out-loud  funny, reading somewhere between a pre-teen Trainspotting and a northern-English equivalent of Larry Clark's Kids ... a memoir with attitude' -- Big Issue  'One of the most astonishing and moving books I've read in years. It shocked me, but the amazing warmth, compassion and humour of Bernie's writing also filled me with hope. This is a must read for everyone from Richard and Judy to Tony Blair.  It is a portrait of Britain today.' Louise Sherwin-Stark, Sales  'The most incredible non-fiction I've read all year.' Hugo Hutchison, Marketing  'Truly ground-breaking -  the most important book we're publishing in 2005' Richard Peters, Sales
