Once-in-a-generation memoir of a rock legend - the No. 1 SUNDAY TIMES bestseller.
Keith Richards will be an improbable 65 in 2008, the year too of his 25th wedding anniversary. He continues to compose and play songs with the Rolling Stones.
A masterpiece, the most sustained, colourful and rambunctious
rampage through his [Keith's] 67 years imaginable
*THE WORD MAGAZINE*
Funny, poignant, brutally honest, engagingly colloquial, Life is
pure Keith Richards, as good a rock memoir as you are likely to
read.
*SUNDAY TELEGRAPH*
Densely packed with incident ... immensely readable
*SUNDAY TIMES*
This is a good, gossipy read. But the best stuff is Keith on music.
Check out his wonderful passage on Charlie Watt's drumming
*EVENING STANDARD*
Dark, honest and gleefully indiscreet from the first page to the
last, it puts some of today's painfully dull musicians to shame
*SHORTLIST*
Once you begin this, wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away
*INDEPENDENT*
A hilarious, ribald and often shocking tale told elegantly and with
much candidness
*CATHOLIC HERALD*
I was hooked from the start
*HARPER'S BAZAAR*
LIFE may be the best rock star autobiography ever
*CLASSIC ROCK*
A memoir so full of incident it feels like the author's lived three
lives, not one
*SUNDAY TIMES*
The fact that Keith is still alive to tell the story is
incredible
*SUNDAY EXPRESS S MAGAZINE*
LIFE is pretty faultless as the quintessential depiction of the man
in full and his extraordinary life and times to date
*THE TIMES*
Electrifying... the intimate and moving story of one man's long
strange trip over the decades, told in dead-on, visceral prose
without any of the pretence, caution or self-consciousness that
usually attend great artists sitting for their self-portraits
*NEW YORK TIMES*
Keith comes across as a thoroughly decent man, with just a hint of
the devil. His relationship with Jagger is complex and
fascinating

*THE SUNDAY EXPRESS S MAGAZINE*
This memoir by Rolling Stones guitarist/songwriter/cofounder Richards is one of the most entertaining rock autobiographies in recent years. A candid and foul-mouthed "Keef" reveals how he fell in love with Chicago blues music, shares intimate details of 50 years in "the world's greatest rock'n'roll band," and reflects on his infamously contentious relationships with Mick Jagger and the late Brian Jones, giving fans long-awaited insights into both his volatile band and his personal life. Musician Joe Hurley and actor Johnny Depp share narration duties, each convincingly producing a range of voices and channeling Richards's cool and cocky charm. Richards himself opens and closes the story. Highly recommended for adult listeners interested in Richards's experiences with fame and fortune and in the Stones' genesis, early years, inner workings, and creative growth.
