Review:
"A staggering depiction of broken urban hearts of America . . . This is reportage of the highest order" (Irish Times)
"If The Wire has given you Baltimore fever, read this chunky, streetwise, drug-littered piece of reportage by the hard-hitting show's creators" (The Times)
"An amazingly clear-sighted yet sympathetic portrait of the American underclass" (Daily Telegraph)
"As thrilling and intense as any psycho-drama . . . this engrossing slice of social journalism is a tour de force that manages to humanise its subjects without exploiting them" (Big Issue)
"A profoundly moving and intelligent piece of social history" (Time Out)
"A brutal critique of America's failed war on drugs, the equality of Simon and Burns's insights matched by a hardboiled lyricism. This is journalism as art" (Sunday Herald)
