Good God I agree with Mr Heath - I thought the book was absolutely crap and there's no way that book represents Clough. It was a complete fabrication. It was supposed to give us an insight into Clough's mind , no way ! I'm not surprised the family were unhappy.
I thought the film was more interesting but equally flawed. ----- Original Message ---- From: Robert Heath <[email protected]> To: "McWilliams, Brendan, VF-Group (bmcwill)" <[email protected]>; LEEDS LIST <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, 11 May, 2010 17:59:52 Subject: [LU] Damned united Haven't seen the film...............got half way through the book then threw it across the room and never picked it up (except to throw it away.) David Peace is a charlatan of the highest order. That book is so shoddily written, and as for that much-vaunted Red Riding, well that was just pure sensationalist drivel designed to titillate Home Counties Tory voters with a tale of those uncivilised and uncouth Northerners. And if you don't believe me, take a look at the dvd...............about 20 mins in to the 1st episode there is a scene of a bleak grey windswept mining town landscape as one of the characters emerges from a house...........whilst a man in a flat cap walks by with a greyhound!!! _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
