Morrissey's List of the Lost and other people I have admired who have almost ruined it all... - East

Click to expand...
I finally did read List Of The Lost. I was afraid -being such a great fan of Morrissey- I'd find some generous excuses if the book was objectively bad. Excuses that would be really hard to be distinguished even for myself. Still yet in this condition I would not be such a fool not knowing about my ΅illness΅. I did not feel like it and did not need any of those excuses in the end of the day. Now I read all this criticism from the critics and it is very funny to understand so clearly the rank of quality of those people. Low. Low. Low. I hope their days are few because if they manage to reach an old age they will have such a great problem in front of the mirror or in front of their grandchildren bitterly discovering the amount of how behind their time they were and how Morrissey was so far beyond. Julie Hamill is only a super fan of Morrissey but it is only an obsession. The girl has no relation with Art. This happens to many of Moz Fans too. The book is so many things. It is excellent. Very complicated. I do believe it can be read many times and each time there will be another differnt view to point something out. I will write down a list of those things another time because now I am extremely bored to go on. I can understand anything in this life. Anything but Hate...

There are positive reviews, they just never get posted on here.

The silence on True To You on List of the Lost is deafening. When Autobiography came out, we get chart updates practically every other day.
 
Says a Norfolk Dumpling? Give me strength, jeez. Most of these critics appear to have no previous record of reviewing good literature. I'll ask my postman to post his review tomorrow.
 
It's a no win situation as half the reviewers don't want it to be good and the other half don't know it's good!

And you're expecting what? Daily postings saying "It's still not in the charts"...?
 
To be honest, if it doesn't involve sheep stealing, Stacia Briggs is not interested.

Of course it's in the charts. No. 863 to be precise.
 
Haven't read the book yet, but I find the mock-horror about the bulbous salutations etc. to be totally missing the mark (and not just of the otherwise central zone).

If it sounds amusingly, fantastically ridiculous, these people don't consider the fact that, possibly, it's meant to be that way?

We get the same old rubbish about Moz not having a sense of humour, and while some of his more elaborate Godwin-like trolling may give that impression, I don't think it's quite true at all.

I probably more qualified to review this than anyone. Don't get it. The book is great but different. Well make up you're own mind and read it.
 
6) Marco Pierre White: Knorr stock cubes: MPW was the enfant terrible of the restaurant scene, an astonishingly talented chef who became the second-youngest Michelin three-star chef ever, a mentor to Mario Matali and Gordon Ramsay and famously handed back his stars in 1999 when he quit the kitchen to concentrate on other projects. Such as stock cubes and turkey products. MPW’s advertisement to persuade us all that turkey isn’t just for Christmas was one of the worst to ever pollute a small screen. Entitled ‘Marco Meets’, the ad saw MPW tucking into turkey with Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp, who confides that he’d always thought turkey was a ‘dry meat’. No, says MPW, “it’s never dry if cooked properly”, presumably having a pop at Shirley out of Pepsi and Shirley. The monster.

Blasphemy! :lbf:
 
you can purchase mint copies on ebay for half price from readers that barely read the first few pages. strangely they include exc reviews of the book.
be wary of anyone who has a good review of this book and is selling it without reading it days after the purchase. i would say all those giving good reviews to this are touts.
