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! no reviews | add a review
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.'
