Life by Keith Richards
Once-in-a-generation memoir of a rock legend and the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller
Electrifying.. the intimate and moving story of one man's long strange trip over the decades, told in dead-on, visceral prose without any of the pretence, caution or self-consciousness that usually attend great artists sitting for their self-portraits * NEW YORK TIMES *
Densely packed with incident... immensely readable. A memoir so full of incident it feels like the author's lived three lives, not one * SUNDAY TIMES *
LIFE is pretty faultless as the quintessential depiction of the man in full and his extraordinary life and times to date * THE TIMES *
Funny, poignant, brutally honest, engagingly colloquial, Life is pure Keith Richards, as good a rock memoir as you are likely to read. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
A masterpiece, the most sustained, colourful and rambunctious rampage through his [Keith's] 67 years imaginable * THE WORD MAGAZINE *
This is a good, gossipy read. Keith comes across as a thoroughly decent man, with just a hint of the devil. His relationship with Jagger is complex and fascinating * EVENING STANDARD *
Dark, honest and gleefully indiscreet from the first page to the last, it puts some of today's painfully dull musicians to shame * SHORTLIST *
Once you begin this, wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away * INDEPENDENT *
A hilarious, ribald and often shocking tale told elegantly and with much candidness * CATHOLIC HERALD *
I was hooked from the start * HARPER'S BAZAAR *
LIFE may be the best rock star autobiography ever * CLASSIC ROCK *
The fact that Keith is still alive to tell the story is incredible * SUNDAY EXPRESS S MAGAZINE *
