While I recommend you read this book as soon as possible, be sure not to do so too close to bedtime. The result is intoxicating, haunting and almost dreamlike (or perhaps nightmare-like). All the main characters appear - Tony Wilson, Barney, Shaun Ryder - and Hook tells it like it was - a rollercoaster.
