Read Yardie and enjoyed it. Tried to read Excess but it was too...outside of my ethnic experience to relate to.

with you on that, mr marsh. loved yardie when i read it, and mr h's story in the britpulp anthology, but i found the same problems with his later work as i do with - no, don't laugh - robert van gulik, who wrote crime novels set in ancient china. both are totally unknown experiences to me. like any alleyway off the beaten track, you sometimes need a map. cracking writer, though.

yush! pretty much follows a similar style to yardie whereas excess is a little bit different. loved these when i first read them and yardie definetly moulded my writing in some ways. it was one of the books that really made me want to write.
