Mike DevlinManchester City: The Secret History of a Club That Has No History

As a City fan it's been important to have a very good sense of humor over the years. The author has done a very good job of expressing that very typical City humor. A good light reading book that will have you laughing out loud on numerous occasions.

Downright painful to read. Instead of finding it witty, I found it tiresome and overdone. The author tries to mix sarcastic humor with made up stories and historical fact; he just can't pull it off. After tiring of the same redundant theme of jokes I threw the book out before finishing. Don't waste your money.

My son was very pleased with this book.

This was a fantastic book. I've read Manchester: The City Years by Gary James and Richer Than God by David Conn and this ranks up there with them. Mike Devlin has a witty and sarcastic writing style that is a trademark of City fans who have been through it all since the beginning. Sure some of the information here is exaggerated for comedic purposes or just purely made up but knowing City's history, they really aren't that much out of the realm of possibility.I'd recommend this to any City fan who wants to know more about the club's beginnings and can laugh at the absolute absurdity that was synonymous with MCFC until very recently.

Great City book by a great writer.

look good bought has a Christmas present for a big city fan.

An amusing read, you need to be a fan of the club to understand some of the humour, but a great read for fans who have lived through the dark times that appreciate the current success

A tongue in cheek journey through the history of Man City. Well worth the read and a wry smile or two if you are a blue. If you want a straight account read Gary James' books. This is the more mischievous younger brother.

a gift and was ok.

Excellent book, informative, funny,and a really good read
