Here's what readers have to say about this book....
An excellent book brutally honest .Short chapters, a thorough insight on the corruption going on in mainstream U.K.Witty, cultural and on point.
I had no preconceived notion of what to expect from Mr Raftery's book and came to it with an open mind. I found that his incisive approach and eye for the important detail quickly drew me into topics of debate which I previously hadn't realised were of any interest to me. The structure, diverse content and ease with which one can dip in' to Mr Raftery's writing are real strengths of his book.
I live in social housing and can confirm that everything Mr Raftery details in his book regarding housing conditions is accurate. We need more writers like this, who will stand up for those without a voice. There is an appetite for Insight into Piece because everybody has had enough. My only criticism of the book is that Mr Raftery does not delve deeper. Perhaps he will expand a little more in his sequel.

This book stands tall above like competition and it's clear the author writes for ordinary folk. Although the text encompasses multiple subject matter, it does on occasion cover my favourite pastime (lower league football) and highlights not just the Big Six, but the politics surrounding the smaller clubs.
