when The Damned United is in my hands was in July, and too much time had passed since the book was released to be able to post a review. more or less.
me however they are read the same, because sometimes I still can not read anything apart from matters of work, I've traveled to Germany and I only started to return, but still made me company for all of 3500 km in the past for a stroll on the moors of Europe more forested and monotonous, until just over a week ago.
now lies on my desk and watch it with the regret of those who would have not finished yet. something better can happen in a novel? I do not know. I just know that this book by David Peace is a great book. which is bound to please all those who are fans of English football, for starters. and to all those who are fans of football stories, to continue. and I say to all those who are avid readers with a sound knowledge of contemporary fiction.
why? because this novel tells the story of the past 44 days in 1974 as coach of the "cursed" leeds united by one of the most eccentric coaches in the history of British football should appeal to all these people? because it is a great novel. because history is intense, full of facts and thoughts, and background, demonstrate the England of that time, and football at that time, and the world at that time. one perceives the nature rich and crazy and wonderful man that was Brian Clough ("so you're not a superstitious person, Brian?". "no, austin," I said. "I'm socialist"), this piece of shit by the great values \u200b\u200bthat it was mr brian howard "Clough" Clough. writing, then, is pressing, clean and essential. a great pace, great sense of humor, daring runs deep.
has everything, this beautiful novel.
read it, so. if you can read it.
stay tuned.
