Review of Rise of the Footsoldier (2007) by Louise H — 15 Apr 2008

In 1997 I bought the ''so this esctacy'' book. Didn't put it down till I had finshed. Since which I have been captivated by the ''Who Done It''.

The Essex Boys - loosely based on the Fatal Dec night - but yeah it was a MOVIE!

There are so many stories about what did or didn't happen. Who knows if Darren is lyin..Spinless Git went into hiding!!!!

The film is very dark, violent and grim - it shows the paths some lifes took.

Carlton, Bernie and DN have to live with the memories of what happened - And have some respect as Carlton lost his best friend....

And as much as it is a shame that a young life was lost remember this :

1. She was 17 - why was she allowed to go to a club and buy the drugs.

2. Her father the Copper....wanna know where he was while Leah was in the bathroom of thier dyin????

Downstairs bein ill cos he couldn't cope with people being sick!!!

3. She didn't die from a dodgy pill - she had a reaction to it - it could just as well of been a peanut.
