Reviews

'There is something on every page, in every paragraph, that demands attention . . . In rock and roll terms, this book is like discovering the lost diaries of Shakespeare. It may be the most extraordinarily intimate autobiography by a 20th-century legend' * Daily Telegraph *
'Entertaining and surprisingly deprecating... The book's structure is elegant . .. Chroniclesis tautly written, vividly cinematic, and funny . . . a courageous little book' * Financial Times *
'Chroniclesstunned everyone . . . [it's] clear, apparently frank, unremittingly serious about his musical influences and exquisitely written. It is, in fact, a masterpiece' * Sunday Times *
