He is enjoyably gossipyabout friends such as Elton John and about his many exes — including Britt Ekland, who loved making eggy bread for his bandmates, and his former wife Rachel Hunter, the only one to have broken his heart. Written in a cheery, faintly ironic style (there’s even a chapter devoted to his haircut), this is a very enjoyable romp.
DAILY MAIL
A rollicking rock'nroll story.
The Scotsman
Behind the rock'n'roll persona, vividly portrayed in his new memoir, is a self deprecating man of manners...highly entertaining.
The Sunday Times
What we loved about this book is the feeling that you are having a personal conversation with Rod Stewart … highly recommended!
Hot Brands Cool Places
Rod Stewart's fascinating autobiography is a colourful account of an extraordinary life
Hello!
He gives you, rather generously, a guided tour into not only his life but the life of a rock star
Different Scene
It’s a brisk romp of a read
Lynn Barber, The Sunday Times
The tone is droll, surprisingly self-deprecating for such an apparent narcissist, and full of deadpan humour. There are whole chapters here where every page made me laugh out loud, hilarious anecdotes as finely honed as anything in Keith Richards’ Life.
Uncut Magazine
…amiably and self-knowingly told... the tone pitched right and the jokes good…He writes articulately about music: where a drummer sits on the beat, or what makes a song bombproof. It's the work of someone who really knows his craft, and loves it.
Guardian
...the book is funny, vivid and even, at times, self-critical...
Daily Telegraph
an eminently readable and richly entertaining journey through Rod’s life...with a real sense of fun pervading...a rollicking read
Beat Magazine
Quite the life you've led... the stories in here, I mean, I blushed a little
Graham Norton
It really is a rollercoaster ride...It’s a proper book. It’s not frothy. It’s not candy flossy...It is no holds barred. You wrote it yourself, it’s so obvious. It’s your voice all the way through
Chris Evans
wonderfully written...a page-turner
Pat Kenny
Ridiculously funny and astonishingly candid, Rod Stewart's memoir is the rock autobiography of the decade
Daily Mail
One of the most entertaining, revealing, captivating books of the year
Independent
It’s impossible not to warm to him in this account of booze, drugs and blondes…The tales of on-the-road bad behavior…leave nothing to the imagination…his painful admission of how ex-wife Rachel Hunter broke his heart reveal a man happy to wear his heart on his sleeve….And he wears it well…
Daily Mail
In Rod Stewart’s raucous, laddish autobiography….his attitude towards women in his life is frequently indefensible but otherwise it’s often laugh-out-load funny
Herald
Rod Stewart reveals all in a hilarious and, at times, moving book…A brilliant read—you’ll be hooked.
Best
[Rod] has warm good humour and a nice line in self-deprecation...He wears it well—and tells it even better.
Daily Mail
By some distance the most entertaining of last year’s...rock star memoirs.
Uncut Online
This book takes readers on an adventure, that is at times deeply moving, through the life of one of the UK's greatest singers.
