The Damned United

[Pavilionaire]

Great book and a bit of a first for NSC - EVERYONE seems to be in agreement on how good it is.

couldn't put it down.

What are you, a spazzy?

The Damned United is the best novel on sport ever written, IMHO. Brilliant.

.....And I thought it was a jolly good book as well. Will they do a "Fever Pitch" with the film as I think it would be very difficult to put on the screen in the same form as the book.

As a big fan of David Peace, I notice that Channel 4 have started running teasers for their forthcoming Red Riding trilogy (even though there are four books).

At the risk of starting a war.. I found it a bit disapointing all in all. Lots of the main characters are found to be a little odd to say the least. The level of hatred between Clough and Taylor came as a shock. Bamber is shown up to be a flash harry business man whom Clough strings along while desperately trying to get re-instated at Derby. The man himself is portrayed as money mad and a drunk. It shattered a lot of my beliefs or illusions as it were. Also the language used was consistantly foul, all in all I felt quite let down .

There is a film coming out this year. I might have to buy the book, sounds a interesting read.

Loved it, brilliantly written, couldn't put it down.

I read a book about the history of glue, I couldn't put it down.
