"Practically every paragraph has a line or two that demands to be read aloud to the mirror, tattooed on foreheads, carved on tombstones."-Rob Sheffield, " Rolling Stone" "Morrissey is a pop star of unusual writing talent."-"The New York Times" "As I floated, unmoored, Morrissey would drop in a single masterfully executed sentence. He's a writer with a gift that he bends to bizarre use."-Sasha Frere-Jones, "The New Yorker" "[Morrissey] is at his very best as he conveys what it was, and is, to be a youth lifted free by the sense of possibilities glimpsed in pop music and films and TV and poetry. He also writes as though he has a clear sense that Autobiography could provide the same kind of beacon, the same kind of life raft, for its most impressionable readers as he found in others. And that's exactly how he should write, for one of the main reasons Morrissey matters as he does is because he has always been that kind of artist."-"GQ" "Rancorous, rhapsodic, schizophrenic: Autobiography delivers a man in full" -Andrew Male, "Mojo" "A wonderfully entertaining read."-"Daily Mirror" "Morrissey's Autobiography is brilliant and relentless.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Book arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.

  • Morrissey autobiography

    Morrissey wrote a great autobiography. It's pretty hard to follow sometimes. His book has no chapters. However it explains how his childhood was like growing up. Some of the things might be shocking or interesting to learn. There's also the court battle about THE SMITHS. All the things Morrissey went through. I kept reading on to see what was going to happen next. Excellent read and sometimes made me want to cry.
