Critics Review
Praise for Boff’s other works:
“Free-thinking and mercurial, [he] is by turns rebellious, exuberant, fierce, kind, funny and invigorating.”–Jay Griffiths, author of Wild
“A stirringly evocative, riveting, hilarious, nostalgic, important book.”–Damian Hall, author of We Can’t Run Away from This
“A strange, exhilarating blast of a book, throbbing with energy and sweaty authenticity.” –Richard Aaskwith, author of Feet in the Clouds
“A most enjoyable look at fell running with a punk soundtrack and attitude. It all makes for a great read and I’m happy that Killing Joke may have been along for the ride.”–Big Paul Ferguson, Killing Joke
