<div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <span style="margin-left:-5px;"></span></div>&quot;This is an amazing book! As soon as it arrived in the post, I started reading and I couldn't put it down. <br /><br />I bought this as a fan of Scarce and learned a lot I didn't previously know about the band. That said, I don't think it's just for Scarce fans - I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in music biographies. <br /><br />If you're looking for the car-crash quality of a good rock 'n' roll biography, then this has it all (bar the all too predictable, premature death - although Chick's brain aneurysm comes pretty close). <br /><br />Overall, I think the book is really well written (although there were a couple of typos) and Joyce's account is honest and raw&quot;<br />Mandy Bang Bang, review on Amazon<br /><br />
