BACK WHERE WE BELONG BOOK REVIEW - February 1995
| Want to read what Sammy Lee has for
dinner in the Liverpool canteen while waiting to be interviewed? Want an in-depth insight
into the way odds change as a football tournament progresses? Want to hear the
tear-jerking tale of one author's struggle to feed an ever-expanding family of
ex-girlfriends and children, especially after the local football paper folded? Want to be
tempted by chapter after chapter of "And then I heard this incredibly interesting
thing... but of course I couldn't possibly breach confidentiality by telling you what
it was" type tales? Want to test your sub-editing skills on some of the most
inelegant and grammatically embarrassing primary-school prose you've seen outside of
the Daily Star? Not the slightest bit interested in learning anything about the
behind-the-scenes shenanigans which accompanied Liverpool on their path to victory in the
Coca-Cola Cup final? This is the book for you. VERDICT: No wonder their newspaper went bust. * |
