An Amazing "Journey "
From Glasgow to Scilliy via the world. Really well paced and devised book of the story of Simple Minds From Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill's perspective. It works really well covering the begging bits, the good bits and carefully and fairly the personal bits. There's a lot going on all the time throughout the book and yet it keeps a good pace and focus and humour...Glasgow is the route of everything. They're maybe a bit critical of themselves too...I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing...maybe good.
Put it this way I'll be buying this book for friends to read.
