I find biographies a very intimate read. You always kind of hope that you get a glimpse of a star and feel closer to their secrets,accepting the fact that there might be disappointing discoveries along the way too. As you would expect from an authorised biography there are plenty of historical facts in this book from the very early attempts of playing 'music', to Siouxsie shocking Disney World in her fantastic thigh length boots.
At times you kind of wonder how on earth Siouxsie and the gang can still be alive after all that they have been through with numerous dramas involving drugs, drink & violence...
This dark side is offset by Siouxsie and Budgie's love story which unfurls in a comical, glamorous and sweet manner.
The book is filled with beautiful photographs and unbelievably cult-like stories.
All told, a fantastic read and a treasure to own.
