Summary: Funny at times
Comment: The Classic Slum, is a good piece of historical writing for its intended audience the facts are present and largely have to be accepted, although given the means to validate them, I expect they would be accurate. Roberts writing has been clearly limited up to the time of his parent's death, which seems to have been a definite decision on where the book should end. By using this limit effectively and creating some fascinating dialogue Roberts has succeeded in writing about a dreary Salford slum in a light and sometimes-funny way.

Summary: Great English History
Comment: This book looks back to Edwardian English society. The author happens to have grown up during this time and gives a vivid account of the "Working Class" society in which he lived. A must read for someone who is interested in British history.
