I enjoyed this book about the Red Road flats. I didn't know anything about the area when I started reading it. There are some memorable characters - old folk who were so proud of their new houses when they moved in, young families with their weans, junkies and asylum seekers. It's all based on interviews with people who lived there, and there are some great illustrations too.
