BOOK
REVIEW
'An
in-yer-face celebration of all that was excessive, anarchic, socially
disruptive and wildly exciting about the fabled youthquake that
began in the 1950s...You name them, Mim was partying with them...narrated
with breathless pace'
Val Hennessy, Daily
Mail
..........................
'He
was a true creature of the Sixties...utterly life-affirming'
Evening
Standard
..........................
There are shades of Hunter S. Thompson in Scalas
helter skelter journey.... and hints of Kerouac in its wide-eyed
abandon.... Scala is utterly irreverent in his treatment of the
pillars of 1960s London - Wealth, sex, drugs, and rock and
roll

BOOK
REVIEWS
"Mim
is one of the great raconteurs and has many stories from his antics
in the 60s. As his friends, we eventually persuaded him to write
them down...(creating) one of the best evocations of the period
that you are ever likely to come across"
John
Hurt,
actor
..........................
"For
a flavour of what it was really like to live through the Swinging
Sixties in London" ..."A Charming Book" The
Times

.........................
PUNCH MAGAZINE REVIEW
"There have been a lot of books about the Sixties but very
few have captured the excitement and uniqueness of the period. The
best two, The best two, so far, are Mims book and Stoned by
the Rolling Stones first manager Andrew Loog Oldham. You had to
be there to appreciate the best decade of the 20th. century"
