He is enjoyably gossipyabout friends such as Elton John and about his many exes — including Britt Ekland, who loved making eggy bread for his bandmates, and his former wife Rachel Hunter, the only one to have broken his heart. Written in a cheery, faintly ironic style (there’s even a chapter devoted to his haircut), this is a very enjoyable romp.

Biographies of Cream have been rare and this latest is impeccably timed

Thompson's is an unbiased account of this exciting time, when the boundaries of music were being blown apart

Packed with drama and extraordinary anecdotes ... essential reading

It really is a rollercoaster ride...It’s a proper book. It’s not frothy. It’s not candy flossy...It is no holds barred. You wrote it yourself, it’s so obvious. It’s your voice all the way through

...the book is funny, vivid and even, at times, self-critical...

A rollicking rock'nroll story.

Rod Stewart's fascinating autobiography is a colourful account of an extraordinary life

He gives you, rather generously, a guided tour into not only his life but the life of a rock star

What we loved about this book is the feeling that you are having a personal conversation with Rod Stewart … highly recommended!

It’s a brisk romp of a read

The tone is droll, surprisingly self-deprecating for such an apparent narcissist, and full of deadpan humour. There are whole chapters here where every page made me laugh out loud, hilarious anecdotes as finely honed as anything in Keith Richards’ Life.

an eminently readable and richly entertaining journey through Rod’s life...with a real sense of fun pervading...a rollicking read

wonderfully written...a page-turner

Ridiculously funny and astonishingly candid, Rod Stewart's memoir is the rock autobiography of the decade

One of the most entertaining, revealing, captivating books of the year

It’s impossible not to warm to him in this account of booze, drugs and blondes…The tales of on-the-road bad behavior…leave nothing to the imagination…his painful admission of how ex-wife Rachel Hunter broke his heart reveal a man happy to wear his heart on his sleeve….And he wears it well…

In Rod Stewart’s raucous, laddish autobiography….his attitude towards women in his life is frequently indefensible but otherwise it’s often laugh-out-load funny

Rod Stewart reveals all in a hilarious and, at times, moving book…A brilliant read—you’ll be hooked.

[Rod] has warm good humour and a nice line in self-deprecation...He wears it well—and tells it even better.

By some distance the most entertaining of last year’s...rock star memoirs.

This book takes readers on an adventure, that is at times deeply moving, through the life of one of the UK's greatest singers.

Ruthlessly entertaining
