Ooh, I haven't read that one!  Having read the synopsis I can just imagine someone starting a war over a freeezy whip in this new block.

It requires a large amount of suspension of belief to imagine things can deteriorate to the level they do in the book without anyone inside alerting the outside or anyone outside realising, but its a good read and no doubt had some hand in shaping the megablocks of MC1. It's also set in London in a similar area as the building shown above :)
