This collection of short stories all feature the same group of teenagers in Britain. A knowledge of “Ali G” speak is required to decipher the Brit/Paki/ Rasta slang …e.g. “Bwoi” = boy, and I have issues with this book because I don’t think Yas will get the “you reap what you sow” message. First story where boy gets put in hospital very powerful, as he is the one who sees the “domino effect”. Story about the missing child is ok too except the cop smokes pot at the end! Mixed messages – stealing, swearing, drugs, sex, racism, drinking – it’s all here for your reading pleasure…NOT!p.74-81 Henry disappears at the carnival..(note language) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Each of these narratives are from an array of vibrant, fresh teenage voices who tell us what it is like to be living their life, as an urban Asian, West Indian, or white teenager in Britain today. From the gritty raw narrator of title story, Dominoes, who describes the gang warfare mentality of both his family and his friends, to the realism of mixed-race relationships in Bhangra Girls and Bhangra Boys, this is a unique collection that truly reflects the society we live in today, and gives true and authentic voice to contemporary adolescents from all cultures growing up in urban Britain.
