This is an enjoyable read of Britain (specifically Birmingham) in the 1970s through teenagers' eyes. From first love, strikes, riots, racism, class, terrorism, affairs, and music we get to relive those terrible times. It's probably a five-star book, but the last chapter... jeez, it's like 50 pages of stream of consciousness, one single run-on sentence, and it is hard work.
