Icons in the Fire: The Decline and Fall of Almost Everybody in the British Film Industry - Hardcover

"Impeccably researched, written with considerable eloquence and thoroughly provoking... required reading if you want to know how the film business works, and how if often doesn't, in Britain." (Derek Malcolm THE EVENING STANDARD, 13 September)

"Each page shows (Walker's) elegance... Uncompromising and intelligent, this study requires some answers." (SB Kelly THE SCOTSMAN, 2 October)

"A fitting tribute to the late Alexander Walker... whose shrewd and witty commentary is matched by a fine sense of moral outrage. Walker is tartly ironic about the various deluded visionaries, charlatans and egomaniacs who people his story, but his acute sense of comedy is countered by an undertow of genuine sadness at what has come to pass." (Christopher Sylvester SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE, 10 October)

"As a nutshell summary of the problems bedevilling our films, it is unimprovable." (David Gritten DAILY TELEGRAPH, 6 November)

"Walker is devastating... with a honed, wry wit. Each page shows his elegance. Uncompromising and intelligent." (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY, 3 October)

"[Walker] wrote like a dream... a glittering style which lights up this final, and posthumous, part of a trilogy." (Quentin Falk ACADEMY MAGAZINE, December 04)

"An excellent, indeed exhaustive, book ... very well-researched and readable. I was most impressed. ICONS deserves to sit atop any self-respecting film fan's bookshelf." (SCREENTRADE MAGAZINE, November 04)
