Excerpt from an article in the Independent for News of the World: Fake Sheikhs and Royal Trappings:

“Peter Burden is remarkably angry. He is so fired up by what he – not a journalist - sees as the News of the World’s slide into the gutter that he has written a book about it, setting out in remarkable detail how the paper operates and how indifferent he feels it is to the suffering of those it exposes.”

Review from Jeremy Harvardi’s blog for News of the World: Fake Sheikhs and Royal Trappings:

“Burden gives his readers an engaging, at times shocking, expose of the darker side of tabloid journalism […] a valuable contribution.”

Review from the Evening Standard for Bet Your Rocks Off:

“The tempo is high from the start, and the action never seems to subside. […] It’s not for the faint-hearted, and it will keep you gripped to the very end.”

Review from the Mail on Sunday for Rags:

“[A] splendidly lively whiz through the fashion fringes of the Swinging Sixties. Instant nostalgia.”
