To be honest, the book wasn't that bad, but it isn't my favourite.
As much as it is an interesting book, there is so much detail which gives the book that edge to it and it's what makes it unique.

Treacle Town
"Treacle Town" kicks off with Con at his mate Biscuit's funeral – Biscuit got offed by another gang. Right away, you see how rough things are where Con lives. Chapter two shows his mates, Wee-Z, Trig, and Nails, and how they're all dealing with Biscuit being gone, and you can feel the pressure cooker of wanting to get even. Then, in chapter three, you get more of Con's own story, like his mum not being around and things being awkward with his dad, who's all about pumping iron. Basically, the start of the book throws you straight into a tough place where violence is normal and everyone's just trying to get by.

The Final Year
I thought this book was going to be boring but I was so wrong. I haven't finished yet but, I hope Sid comes back to his senses. Overall I give it 4 stars out of 5.
