Description:
'Jonathan Coe's new novel is set in the 1970s against a distant backdrop of strikes, terrorist attacks and growing racial tension. A group of young friends inherit the editorship of their school magazine and begin to put their own distinctive spin on to events in the wider world. A zestful comedy of personal and social upheaval, The Rotters' Club captures a fateful moment in British politics - the collapse of 'Old Labour' - and imagines its impact on the topsy-turvy world of the bemused teenager: a world in which a lost pair of swimming trunks can be just as devastating as an IRA bomb.'

I have had this book for some time, and a friend who has read it (and who generally likes similar books to myself) loves it, however I've just never managed to get into it. So, I think it's time to pass it on for someone else to enjoy. I can always pick it up if it comes around again...

Happy Reading!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Popped into Soffitta1's 5th Bookbox (Film Theme).

Arrived in my Film box, like the look of this.

Hmm, have had this for a long time, sorry! It took a couple of chapters, but then I got hooked. A story (well not really a story, more a look at intersecting lives in '70s England) that shows human relationships, the move into adolescence and politics.

On the bookshelf.
