    and this is one of the worst I've read
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018*

I bought this book so I could read it on vacation and in airports, etc...I've read many rock star biographies, and this is one of the worst I've read. I could barely make it through the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the book due to Mr. Gillan's horrible writing style, which is pretty much tongue in cheek and very "cheeky" to coin English slang. He makes light of pretty much every story he tells, and to be fair, I appreciate him trying to make it upbeat and funny. Having said that, his writing is horrendous by any English standard. Virtually every paragraph in the book has at least two or three sentences ending in an exclamation point! It really makes it hard to take anything he says seriously. He frequently references people, places and things which an American reader, like myself, has no idea what he's talking about, and I'm pretty up to speed on English slang and vernacular. If you are looking to find out any details on what it was like to work with the rock icons in Deep Purple, then you will be very disappointed like I was. He makes almost no references to Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Roger Glover and Ritchie Blackmore as human beings and what they were like, or the issues that led to the frequent lineup changes and issues that broke up the band. I reread that section several times, and I still have no idea why Mr. Gillan left Deep Purple the first time. There is also very little  reference to the drugs that we all know these guys did that contributed to conflicts in the band, although he admits he was a heavy drinker and talks freely about alcohol and some of the 'amusing' drunken events that happened while on tour. In short, most of the information that anyone would buy a rock star's auto-biography for are not in this book, and it's really disappointing that Mr. Gillan left them out. Perhaps he was worried about legal ramifications or perhaps he simply does not remember due to his drinking, but then why write a book in the first place unless one was desperate for money? He should have co-written this with the help of a professional writer (as most rock stars do), but sadly did not...and the results are apparent.

    One of the Great Voices of Rock
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2019*

Ian Gillan the voice of Deep Purple, historically the best of them all, is such a genuime bloke. He's one of us. Loves rock and is gifted enough to display his wares. He gives a very humble story of his beginings as the frontman of a super group and it is telling. Oh yeah BTW he was Jesus on the original score of JC Superstar. What a performance that was ! Great guy, ego under control and fame just the byproduct of his great talent. If Steve Perry be the Voice, Ian Gillan is the Scream. Great singer, great guy, Great book.
