What was the Adam Ant autobiography like?
Steve Pugh[info]very_true_thing on December 31st, 2008 04:35 pm (UTC)
It's fairly slim and moves over some stuff a lot faster than one might like but it's well written and very open and honest about his mental health issues. I don't read a lot of autobiography so have very little to compare it with.

I got through the entire New Jedi Order series this year, and reviewed them all on my LibraryThing.
