Doubt if anyone's read it. Here's a damn good reason not to:

What the? Is that a review?

If so it's the biggest pile of toss I've read in my life...

Have a look at the savaging it got by readers over at Amazon ...

My favourite review:

"Thoughtful, artistic, inspiring, shocking, this book will change your life. For fans of Pete, and those who hate him, this is a must read.

Nah, not really. Its a right bag of wank."

But very little of those negative reviews suggest that they've actually read the bloody thing!

I for one would be very interested in reading them. I've read extracts from his prison diaries and they're very interesting...

If it's any consolation, I've always thought he was shite, and his tunes utterly overrated cack. I mean, if you're looking for consistency, that is :twisted:

Sorry what's in the book because I read the first two lines of that review and gave up. Is it his life story? Or just perusings of a young man? What is the nature of Mr D's book? I do hope it's not a life story as I believe that you shouldn't be able to write your life story until you're at least 50. I'm sick of reading the 'lives' of people under the age of thirty - some average two books a year on their 'lives' Bollocks it is. As for Pete - I'm not gonna defend him any longer or Johnny Borrell. You're on your own lads!

Well you know what, José? What does he give me in return? That's what I asked myself. Diddley squat, that's what...*

*That was a lie. He bores me now so I can't be arsed.
