Why read it?
1 author picked Autobiography as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Morrissey was the singer and icon from the British band The Smiths, who had a major influence on me and thousands of other Brits growing up in the 1980s.

At times, he is painfully cruel about many music world figures, including his ex-bandmates, but it makes for an entertaining, humorous, and raw account of his life.
From Pete's list on British rock music icons.
