Summary: If you love GRANT, you'll love this book!
Review: The book was GREAT! It filled in many of the missing years I missed since GRANTS appearance on the show in the yearly 1990's. It takes you through all the significant events in his life which shapes his character. The author was true to the original text of this show, I was watching these episodes simaltaneosly with reading the novel. The writing was easy to follow. After reading this, I understand Grant's character. In many instances a viewer underestimates a character by there actions. In this book, Lock makes it apparent as to what Grant really feels and the nature of his actions. EXCELLENT, WELL DONE!

Summary: Brilliant re-creation of 10 years of Grant Mitchell!
Review: This book is a must-read for any fan of EastEnders. Author Kate Lock has true empathy, not only for Grant Mitchell but for all the other characters, and covers an amazing amount of ground. The only thing that was hard to get used to is that, because of the amount of time spanned, the non-Grant story lines are often summarized in a few paragraphs (e.g., events like Eddie Royle's murder and Michelle Fowler's decision to leave Walford). But this allows Lock to explore Grant, Phil, Sharon, Peggy, Kathy, and Tiffany in detail. The book also helped explain a few things that took place before I started watching the series. And because my PBS station in the Washington, D.C. area is about three years behind England in airing EastEnders, it's also possible to see where the show will go from here.Now that Ross Kemp (Grant) has left the show, I hope Lock writes a sequel that ties things up -- I'd be the first to buy a copy!
