Reviews

'From Manchester with Love is the perfect monument.' - SUNDAY TIMES

'Epic . . . More than a mind map, the book's peculiarity and expanse and, yes, love, means it becomes an immersive experience. I found it very moving indeed.' - OBSERVER

'A gigantic, haphazard and unexpectedly emotional monolith dedicated to the "irritating dilettante", "pretentious charlatan" and "huckster extraordinaire" who put his city on the musical map . . . Here he burns on fantastically bright.' - UNCUT (9/10)

'This is no ordinary biography . . . [From Manchester with Love] is a work unto itself, solidifying Tony Wilson as a postmodern hero . . . it's brilliant . . . I have to imagine Tony Wilson (if ghosts of dead impresarios read from their graves) is pleased with From Manchester with Love.' - LOUDER THAN WAR

'Written with Technicolour perspective, humour, pathos and empathy in fluid, immensely readable prose, it is a book that does justice to Wilson's memory and enduring influence.' - RECORD COLLECTOR (5/5)

'Captivating . . . Across 600 pages, each of the 51 chapters weaves dream states with journalistic investigation, a tale of how one human being, with the help of like-minded spirits, psychically co-opted an entire city.' - CONFIDENTIALS
