A+ AMAZING, A SPECIAL SHARE OF AN ARTIST'S THOUGHTS + ADVENTURES AND HIS MIND POURED OUT ON PAPER. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY WITH ANY TASTE AND FOR ALL PARENTS AND CONCERNED FRIENDS OF F_CKED UP ARTISTS. THE BEAUTY FOUND IN THE DISASTER OF THE ELEMENTS IN THESE PAGES FORTIFY AND PROVIDE COMFORT TO THE STRUGGLING CLASS OF CREATIVES ON THE DIRTY ROAD TO FAME. THIS BOOK ALSO ACTS AS A BONUS FOR SETTING THE STANDARD OF A REAL ROCK STARS JOURNALS B/C THAT KURT COBAINE BOOK OF JOURNALS WAS LAME AND I THREW IT IN THE GARBAGE. THIS BOOK IS PRIVILEGE TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE WORLD. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, STEAL IT FROM YOUR GIRLFRIEND. -------------- DR. ZA

This book is full of personal journal entries, actual pages in his handwriting, which at times can be difficult to make out. An insightful read, I felt a sense of understanding with him, starting off poor before the Libertines albums. Being in love with Kate Moss, his feeling about life and poetry. Easy to tell that he is a good person, struggling with drug addiction. The press intruding upon him and putting all this unnecessary pressure on him. Pete is a sensitive person who loves to be in a relationship and loves to be loved. His lyrics are proof of his talent and his feelings and honesty.

Insights and musings
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This personal and engrossing journal is a collection of insights and musings from the poet/pariah Pete Doherty, lead singer of the British rock band Babyshambles (and formerly of the legendary Libertines). It provides a true devotee a view inside the mind of the troubled troubadour. At times poetic, at times rambling, the prose is like a labyrinth in which you are happy to be lost.
