Items related to All the Rage
It’s 1981, and the nation is going Eurovision-crazy. A young band, Things Fall Apart, are British hopefuls with their catchy hit, Let’s Be Famous. Europe is unimpressed. But the band won’t let go of their dream, and they persevere to become one of the most famous boy-girl pop acts of the eighties. And during their glory days they sample the cultural highlights of the decade. Living and working together constantly it’s little wonder that love soon blossoms in the band; nor that the cracks between them eventually begin to show. From their innocent early days to their ugly last fight, this is the story of a pop group - warts and all. Hugely funny and immensely readable, All The Rage is a fantastic novel encompassing the best (and the worst) of the decade that taste forgot. Amidst the sequinned boob tubes and spangly jump suits is a touching story about dreams, disappointments, and the highs and lows of fame.

Review:
'A very funny and moving satire on the period' The Times 'Magrs has also skilfully captured something darker in the gears of the fame treadmill that makes All The Rage more than a one-hit wonder' The Guardian 'Magrs packs more emotion into these pages than you'd ever believe possible, then leaves you panting for more' Time Out 'This book is as plausible as many 'one-hit-wonder' documentaries, only funnier, and is recommended reading for a summer holiday' Gay Times 'A very funny, brilliantly observed and poignant celebration of cultural icons' Times Literary Supplement 'Hilarious - 4 stars' Heat
