What They're Saying
Critics Review
Eye-openingly good
Eye-openingly good * New Statesman *
A bold and unexpected argument… a fascinating book * Guardian *
Thoroughly compelling… Garnett is a fine guide to the sheer grimness of life 30 years ago, and his evocative tour d’horizon of Britain in 1975 shows off his ability to handle both high politics and low culture * Daily Telegraph *
Engaging… He has an eye for the off-beat detail and newspaper reports that capture the flavour of the period * Times Literary Supplement *
A convincing analysis…this survey asks some interesting questions about our social history and offers the first steps towards answering them * Metro *
A useful book…clips along at a decent pace and is never less than readable * Sunday Herald *
Readable and lively account * Trident *
