I Don't Want to Go to the Taj Mahal Reviews

Hill's many notable gifts as a writer include his narrative economy, his honesty and his pin point clarity. This is mordant, touching and - uniquely for a work of autobiography - entirely without vanity.
Utterly rancid. I loved it.
Charlie Hill is the chronicler Birmingham needs. Clear-eyed and sharply written, this a memoir - a set of poetic postcards, really - which offers a kaleidoscope of the past, a history of Charlie and of the city itself.
Hilariously written with a breathtaking precision and economy.
