Anmeldelser
«The Young Team is a book full of guts, power, humour and humanity.»
Kerry Hudson, author of <i>Lowborn</i>
«Bright, brittle and boiling with immediacy . . . His work is vivid, dynamic and sharp as a whip. »
Janice Galloway, author of <i>The Trick is to Keep Breathing</i>
«Phenomenal. It’s been ages since I read a book so funny, visceral, or powerful.»
David Whitehouse, author of <i>Bed</i>
«A swaggering, incendiary debut . . . The non-standard English forges a dazzling poetry of its own . . . pitches Armstrong straight into the first division of Scottish writers.»
Jude Cook, Guardian
«The Young Team is a landmark in Scottish literature. It reminds me of Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby.»
Damian Barr, author of <i>Maggie & Me</i>
«Armstrong’s hard-hitting novel is Trainspotting for a new generation.»
Independent
«Raw and lyrical . . . written in a voice that recalls Irvine Welsh and Alan Warner – dialect that fizzes off the page.»
Observer
«[A] gripping debut novel . . . he is quite a phenomenon . . . one of the most admired young voices in British fiction.»
Mike Wade, The Times
«A riveting debut novel . . . it crackles with teenage energy . . . has already engendered a buzz that many other debut novelists would kill for.»
Herald
