Editorial Reviews

"…[Alan Moore] has written a searingly autobiographical book which bears comparison with Paul Durcan’s Daddy, Daddy. Moore describes an unhappy childhood in the late 1960s and early 1970s in painstaking detail, often adopting the voice of a younger self, moving from a briefly sketched social world to the anxieties and terrors of the child"—Irish Times
