"List of the Lost" review by Ludovic Hunter-Tilney in Financial Times

FT is great.

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.

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?

skinny is right they have to be legitimate reviews. not bs reviews, ie reviews by the cult or by moz under different names as you find in amazon. all the readers who find the book noteworthy on amazon have, strangely, almost identical reviewing styles.
they find awful prose appealing.

the book is terrible face it.
 
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.

You're a good man Skinny. And also very clever. Something tells me you were going to donate the money anyways, but either way it's going to a good cause. Enough from me, our man Mike from London has something to say:

Shame he dies in the end.
 
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!
 
My Associate Editor friend reckons a mod on here is a bar room bore. He is more famous than Moz (in his small town) LOL. Bet the Mod and Knockers block this dull comment too. So they should.

Clutching at straws, it's wank ! Accept it you fool.

What number is it in the book chart ? Why hasn't nephew posted how well it's doing on true to uncle?
Because it's a load of wanky old wank shit.

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.
