London, 1976- a summer of chaos, punk, love . . . and the boy they called Billy the Kid. It was the summer of so many things. Heat and violence, love and hate, heaven and hell. It was the time I met William Bonney - the boy from Belfast known as Billy the Kid. I've kept William's secrets for a long time, but now things have changed and I have to tell the truth. But I can't begin until I've told you about Curtis Ray. Hip, cool, rebellious Curtis Ray. Without Curtis, there wouldn't be a story to tell. It's the story of our band, of life and death . . . and everything in between. Acclaim for Kevin Brooks 'Kevin Brooks just gets better and better.' Sunday Telegraph 'A masterly writer.' Mail on Sunday… (more)

Really love the idea of this but I just couldn't get into it. Think it's just a case of it not being the right time, I definitely plan to return to this book at some point and read it.

longlisted for the 2013 Carnegie Medal. Believable 'historical' fiction about the birth of a punk band in the '70s. Strong characters, as usual with Brooks, diametrically opposed m/f protags, including use of the Irish 'troubles' for lead male.

Much enjoyed by my 14y-o+ readers, bringing more readers to the KB fan club! ( )
