Reviews and Recommendations
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of One Night in Turin from the world's leading experts.
Simon Kuper It’s gripping and it’s written in a very sort of populist, laddish style, but it works. The characters make it work, and the setting of Italy during the World Cup. It doesn’t matter that that World Cup is now history. (Source)
David Baddiel The cover is Gazza crying, which is now rather clichéd, but then it was an icon of the change in attitude towards football and men, and how emotional they can be about football. (Source)
