Alan McGee
The best book on the nineties I have ever read. Dylan Jones is the best observer of the times we have. An absolutely brilliant book
Henry Williams, SPIKED
Dylan Jones's Faster Than a Cannonball captures the exuberance and spirit of the Nineties [and] sheds light on the wider cultural and economic environment
Tracey Emin
Amazing achievement
Courtney Love
Dylan Jones' delicious, hilarious new book has given me more insight into the British psyche than Henry James. And the writing is fire
Chris Salewicz
Great book
Matthew d'Ancona, TORTOISE
Fantastic
Dorian Lynskey, LITERARY REVIEW
A kind of stealth memoir. We see the decade's utopian promise smothered by money and cocaine rather than Nixon and Vietnam. One can read the decade as a period of brash, breathless momentum, especially in technology and the arts
GRAZIA
Fascinating
Sarah Ditum, THE SUNDAY TIMES
Considering the hold that Britpop had on the nation's psyche in the nineties, it's amazing how short-loved the movement was. This book shines a light on just how toxic nineties lad culture could be for girls with guitars
