You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood

4.0

You Don't Know Me is a really unique, fascinating book, covering gritty subjects surrounding gang culture & political circumstances in Britain especially London. It is insightful, gripping, addictive and equally terrifying as you are emersed right in the impossible choices faced by young people particularly BAME kids in deprived areas with little opportunity. The book itself is cleverly written via court transcripts of the defendant in a murder trial as he sacks his barrister addresses the court himself in his closing speech. Evidence is addressed and a tell-all picture emerges of why the defendant is stood on trial and whether he is guilty or not guilty. Thank you to the author and publisher for this netgalley copy.
