Critics Review
Brilliant and thought provoking. – Nicola Sturgeon
Darren writes powerfully and poignantly about the unanticipated impact of becoming a poster boy for Scotland’s social ills. * Observer *
Raw, insightful and provocative. * Irish Times *
An at times brutally exposing account… McGarvey shows a maturity that belies many writers on similar topics; Trauma Industrial Complex therefore succeeds as far more than memoir. * The Scotsman *
If it is taken seriously, it should have consequences… truly courageous, sincere and difficult. * The Herald *
He’s a good person to write this book… uncompromising in his message. * Spectator *
The standout, authentic voice of a generation * Herald *
McGarvey is a rarity: a working-class writer who has fought to make the middle-class world hear what he has to say – Nick Cohen * Guardian *
An Orwell for today’s poor * The Times *
An absolutely fascinating individual – Owen Jones
