Very good idea, at times a little tedious

This is a well-written, dialogue based novel, constructed coherently highlighting the theme of gang culture in the UK and the pitfalls of being surrounded by it. While the premise of this novel is superb, after a while the protagonist's monologue becomes a little tedious and I ended up losing focus. It's heartfelt, no doubt, understanding the circumstances of how he ended up in the dock. Good idea but falls a little short.

A very good film with some young English actors. I'm not sure if this was a film made for TV but it has that feel to it. It's raw, gritty and brutal showing the life of a group of teenagers in West London. Unfortunately some scenes are quite true to what is going on with inner city teenagers today and the gang culture. Fades a little towards the end but still a good watch.......now to see the sequel Adulthood.
