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. His wit is legendary, and he uses it to good effect in this story of the band. 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 The best books about British rock music icons.
