"If you enjoy reading about young make prostitutes and their lurid exploits, you'll love Aiden Shaw's new novel. he offers an intimate glimpse at their sexual and emotional lives (no -holds-barred) all from an insider's point of view." "Aiden Shaw's writing is so sensuous and immediate that he can make the most shadowy of worlds insnatly recognisable. His accounts of sex, drugs, sado-masochism, theraphy and clubbing are brutally candid, and his emototional honesty and raw physical detail compelling.” "Brutal Uncut is a startling - a terrifying - book in many ways. It's a report from hell, a telegramatic account of alife inconceivable to most of us. It atkes big risks artistically and brings tehm off because of teh unfailing authenticity of the voice. Somewhere deep inside its harrowing pages is an expected quality: innocence. It takes you all the way with it down the vertiginous tunnels of the story. It is moving and upsetting and absolutely real."
