Reviews
I grew up in the eighties and so there are many references that resonate with me, mainly musical in this case. But that wasn't the reason for reading 1982 - that's because Jason Ayres writes such engaging work. All of his books are excellent and if this has piqued your interest, then don't waste anymore time and get reading his works.
I really loved this book. It’s one of those that you look forward to reading the next time you have a little leisure time. I’m very much into the time travel genre, and Jason Ayres writes some of the best. They put me into a nostalgic, retrospectively relaxing frame of mind. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series!
The third in this excellent series and my favourite so far. Namechecking bands I love, diving headlong into the music industry, Wendy gets a second chance and grabs it with both hands. Superb.
