11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Good. but some problemsBy LondonnoiseA great insight into Bernards life. Im a great fan of New Order and found some of the behind the scenes stuff really fascinating.My two criticisms were that. while he has been in a longtime disagreement with Peter Hook. Bernard sometimes comes across as a little childish in his constant justification of himself as being completely blameless in the argument (though in fairness. Hookys book pretty much does the same in reverse). It takes two to have an argument. and I found this quite jarring.I also thought he was a little condescending about Gillian. I paraphrase "she had come on in leaps and bounds". I always thought she added a lot of warmness to New Order records (witness the recent Music Complete). and it just felt dismissive as if she isnt that important. Id disagree.However. these are fairly minor criticisms and all in all. if you are a fan of Joy Division. New Order. or even that period of English music. this is well worth a read.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A very insightful autobiography!By R. WattsA very insightful autobiography from one of the music communities most elusive. yet talented members. Founding member of Joy Division New Order gives a wonderful first-hand account of his early days as a child growing up in Salford. England during its darker days. to a single mother suffering from CP and confined to a wheelchair. I honestly had no idea of the depressed state of his childhood until reading this book. There is a lot of somber reading material throughout the first quarter of the book. but it certainly gives the reader a deeper appreciation of Bernard. Sumner. as well as other artists who perhaps have gone through similar situations during their childhood. Naturally there is a lot written about the Joy Division years and this section is certainly not without its share of sadness. what with singer Ian Curtis depression and bouts of epileptic seizures. Its never pleasent to read things such as this. but the friendship and support that Bernard gave Curtis during his life is very uplifting. The chapters on the transition between Joy Division and New Order are very interesting. as are the chapters written about their time in the studio and Bernards discovery of the various electronic studio equipment that New Order had employed during the recording of their albums. His perspective on the Hacienda is entertaining and of course he touches on the issues surrounding New Order and former bassist Peter Hook. Theres no trash talking---its actually very "high road" and Sumner makes his stance on the matter quite effectively. Very entertaining if you like New Order or even Joy Division. but still a great read for the casual fan looking for something new to read.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. the Peter Hook book about Joy Division was incredibly detailedBy Royal Fork BassThis was well-written and had a manageable length. With such a long span of time to cover. he does breeze through a lot of time periods and just cherry picks random events to elaborate on. By comparison. the Peter Hook book about Joy Division was incredibly detailed. although not as eloquently written as this one.Overall I enjoyed it and learned a lot about New Order. Joy Division. and Mr. Sumner.
