The writer takes us into a seedier side of the city as he displays brilliantly -\u003cbr\u003eyouth gang culture, the 'Rap' game, and all of the associated 'ill's' linked to this industry, also street culture, the related language \/ slang, gang territory,\u003cbr\u003ehow it is run, and governed, and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe character development here is stunning, u really feel as tho u know these characters, and the authenticity of these characters, leaves u with no doubt that they are - or must be based on real experiences and ppl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe word authentic I feel will be used often to describe all elements of this book by many. A\u003cbr\u003erunning theme for any who know and understand\u003cbr\u003eLondon's inner cities and great for those who don't know it but want to learn more about it. And I say that to all ages and cultures worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supernatural element to this story is also well thought through and researched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works extremely well as part of this authentic view into inner city London. The occult theme becomes entwined into the authenticity of the story, in other words, the writer very convincingly marries these 2 elements and makes for a very gripping realistic story. Its actually incredibly believable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupernatural? Streets? Rap? Believable? I hear u thinking,...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot even most of the accomplished writers out there in the world can bring these elements together successfully...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet this is E.Sherriff's first book!???\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm not going to give much of this story away, I\u003cbr\u003ebelieve the beauty of this book is certainly in the reading. The journey Sherriff takes u on is pretty breathtaking! And detailed! The humour is equally brilliant!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is something I can easily see translated onto the big screen, with the careful eye of a competent director and screen writer obviously,...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not the type of work we will want to see\u003cbr\u003eMessed up by lazy amateurs masquerading as pro's,\u003cbr\u003eor some spotty little wannabe from elsewhere romanticising this with his\/her fleeting and inexperienced view of London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI recently saw a series on the UK channel 4 network called 'Utopia' ... I remember thinking that I'll never get back those wasted seconds 'why did I punished myself'...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell I subscribe to an amazing thing called Karma! And it seems the karma pay back for me has come in the form of this book and writer!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKarma is real!...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFace the music - the devil is in the detail is the first literary work of an authentic writer of realism. He is able to incorporate other genres into his frame convincingly! and makes them sit effortlessly with his style of authentic realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI just hope this work reaches a readership across the board, I know they will be grateful for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036560081136,"sku":"9781080951031","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781080951031_p0.jpg?v=1765233155","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781080951031","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
