1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating!By KHaving just completed this book. I now feel like a Smiths scholar as well as a fan. I can see why Morrissey reportedly did not like this book as it paints him much less favorably than does his own Autobiography or the hero worship book. Saint Morrissey.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Debonair CavemanThorough!25 of 28 people found the following review helpful. Exhaustive. but not exhaustive to read!By mattI love Morrissey and The Smiths. so this book could be written [bad] and I would still like it. But fortunately Rogan is a gifted writer who loves the subject matter even more than I do!Youll learn way more than you ever wanted to know about the band and the split between Johnny Marr and Steve Morrissey from this at times obsessively accurate and detailed account. I was struck by how weird Morrissey really is. His odd antics in print and life are not an act. He really is an odd duck. But isnt that why we love him so much? He speaks for all of us when he whines. moans. and sighs about lifes missed opportunities. unrequited loves. and the mystery of personal identity.Included are dozens of photos of everyone involved in the whole saga. It is a really great read! Enjoy!"Its so easy to laugh. Its so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind...I know its over. and it never really began. But in my heart it was so real."
