    Utterly honest, engaging

    Well written with entries by real-life characters. Insider look at the music industry without being over-the-top critical. Life as it was in the 60s era. Richards is a compelling person with both foibles and incredible talent. A natural talent with human failings and gifts. What a guy!

  • Great book!

    This is a great read. "Keef's" voice can be heard clearly in the conversational tone that flows throughout the book.

  • Life? It was bigger than this!

    Much more "Life" needs urgently adding to this less-than gripping telling of Keith's actual life. I got the distinct impression that his biographer neither understood Keith, band life, hedonism, rock 'n roll, blues, or how to write engagingly about any of them. A supposed hell-raiser nonpareil, Richards is reduced to considerably less by this book. Compared especially to say, Mick Fleetwood's absorbing revelations, or to Pete Townshend's even more frank and often graphic publication, this book comes in as an also-ran. Sorry, I could not even nearly recommend Keith Richards' book, "Life".
