It's 1981, and the nation is going Eurovision-crazy. A young band, Things Fall Apart, are British hopefuls with their catchy hit, Let's Be Famous. Europe is unimpressed. But the band won't let go of their dream, and they persevere to become one of the most famous boy-girl pop acts of the eighties. And during their glory days they sample the cultural highlights of the decade. Living and working together constantly it's little wonder that love soon blossoms in the band; nor that the cracks between them eventually begin to show. From their innocent early days to their ugly last fight, this is the story of a pop group - warts and all. Hugely funny and immensely readable, All The Rage is a fantastic novel encompassing the best (and the worst) of the decade that taste forgot. Amidst the sequinned boob tubes and spangly jump suits is a touching story about dreams, disappointments, and the highs and lows of fame. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I have yet to find a Magrs book I haven't loved. They are quite varied, although linked by their embrace and acceptance (celebration) of people slightly outside the mainstream, and of a skilful weaving of current and retro pop culture in the mix. In this lovely novel, Tim randomly meets a member of his ex-boyfriend's favourite 1980s band and embarks on a road trip combining reminiscence, bitterness, some hugely entertaining characters and the dark heart of pop music. From the huge transvestite manager to the seeker after "real" music who ends up recording his cat singing, this is a book with a big heart, a great story and some brilliant revenge.
