Too Much Too Young is a comprehensive look at the history of Ska through the lens of the 2 Tone Records story. Comprehensive in both time and viewpoint, it stretches from the earliest days of the founding of the Specials through the entire lifetime of 2 Tone. The author has taken pains to, while not necessarily independently verifying all first hand accounts they collected and recorded here, present multiple first hand accounts wherever possible even when details may conflict with one another. This provides a unique and detailed look back on this history of Ska. 

Historical retrospectives of this type can read as a little dry, especially when the specific topic may not an area of expertise or interest to the reader. However, between the writing style and the diverse first hand accounts, Too Much Too Young is a surprisingly easy, fast, and engaging read likely to appeal to both the expert fan and the uninitiated alike.
