Next well get a review from PC world
Pink and hard in the morning.
Just the way I like it.
The FT is actually floppy and has other people's business all over it.
FT needs to concentrate on warning us the economy is f....d. Forget reviewing Morrisseys unusual and interesting book. I downloaded it this morning. Couldn't put it down, unlike the spite ridden reviewers. In fact, they made me keener to read it.
Find those positive review links and post 'em here. The floor is yours. Redress this hideous unbalance for us all.
Oh Skinny. Get your checkbook ready.

Well I loved this book, the way it was written, his turn of phrase.
So, how's that plus vs neg going, you f***ing jackass? You went looking in the UAE to find this. I commend you. And by the way, is this a review from someone who reviews books for a living, or just something you found? Got the link, not the text? You see, people whose job it is to review books almost universally find the book shit. Is this a book reviewer, or some dude on Amazon or summat?
Who gives a f*** what any critic or casual reviewer thinks?
Read it for yourself, make up your own mind.
You may hate the book, but you just never know, you may even enjoy it, or at least parts of it.
Art-hounds.
Unlike the lemmings you are obviously in charge of your own mind. Most reviewers ( like the Pork lover) had the review written before Moz wrote the book. Enjoy it, sure you will. I did and friends who appreciate good writing did too.If 20 critics says the book is shite, does that mean that it is, universally, without a single doubt, shite?
I'm 63 pages in, and I like it. I like the sentiment, what he conveys. I like the flow, the almost stream of consciousness flow that pours out. It's hypnotic. And, as we all know perfectly well, he has a splendid way with words. But, of course, it's not without flaws (but who or what ever is?). It should've been edited slightly, the wording is sometimes too verbose and impenetrable and he sometimes lets his own voice and his own opinions take up too much space. But then again, that makes it a unique read.
And as other people has said; make up your own minds. Don't let yourselves be manipulated by the press, with whom Morrissey has fought countless battles with in the past. Let yourselves enjoy it, and if you really don't - that's fine too!
