Reviews

Think Monty Python meets This Is Spinal Tap . . . Both a rollicking tale of rock's bygone glory days and a deeply human account of a working-class boy who never gave up. Told in Johnson's light, engaging prose, it's everything you want, and didn't know you wanted, from a rock-star memoir * Mail on Sunday *
A story full of splits, triumphant returns and no shortage of outrageous incidents * Mail+ *
A tale of fate, serendipity and dogged determination * Mojo *
Johnson is a natural storyteller * Mail Online *
Warm, starkly comic and uplifting ... The Lives of Brian is a literary twin of an AC/DC album - wild material woven together seamlessly, and always leaving you wanting more. * Hot Press *
