Written with an unique perspective from Morrissey directly, this one-of-a-kind autobiography was published in 2013 and has since received rave reviews. Rob Sheffield (Rolling Stone) comments, "Practically every paragraph has a line or two that demands to be read aloud to the mirror, tattooed on foreheads, carved on tombstones." The New York Times states, "Morrissey is a pop star of unusual writing talent." GQ remarks, "(Morrissey) is at his very best as he conveys what it was, and is, to be a youth lifted free by the sense of possibilities glimpsed in pop music and films and TV and poetry."
