Rose Widlake from Neath rated this title and wrote:
"Playing Mercy is a fantastic book that gives us an honest and up-front insight into what it's like growing up for many of the British population. It takes a lot of skill as a writer to simply follow the day-to-day lives of people and keep it interesting enough to really enjoy the whole book. Matthew does this with ease, and has successfully captured the attitude of many of today’s typical community in the UK. Gritty, funny and proud. "
