Depressing realistic.
Excellent character development and insight. Ultimately an exploration of a harsh, realistic upbringing.
Avoid if easily depressed.

Well written
Well written story but I found the subject matter rather hard to take. Overall not my cup of tea, but mainly due to the subject itself no reflection of the writing or the performance.

wonderful
A beautifully writen and poignant portrait of, for want of a better word, underclass life in the U.K. I really love this book.

good story
Very realistic, Decent story line, could do with a bit less of the snot all over the baby face stuff (yuk) but on the whole realistic, the writer has obviously done her research, would recommend if you like gritty realistic stuff.
