Gonzo journalism from an 80's rock 'legend',
By hemens@hotmail.com (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crucify Me Again (Paperback)
Hunter S. Thompson's style of Gonzo journalism with a smutty, British twist. Some gems for aspirant rock gods -don't keep budgies if you watch a lot of porn, for example - but hardly a patch on the U.S. original. Worth checking out for a lazy afternoon.

Manning chews the fat and spits it out,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crucify Me Again (Paperback)
Rock star, babe magnet and self-confessed alcoholic Mark Manning presents us with a high-octane romp through the sweat-stained sheets of his psyche.One time front man of quasi metal love gods Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, the author pulls no punches in this tumid tale of debauchery and self-abuse. Crucify Me Again is not for those of a delicate disposition but anyone interested, or trying to remember, what is was like to be a cranked-up sex beast in the 1980s could do no better than to thumb its pulsating pages.

honesty, urrgh, yoicks, morals.,
By Sarah Tipper (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crucify Me Again (Paperback)
This book is painful to read in places but also compelling. At times you dislike the author (Mark Manning? Zodiac Mindwarp?) for his cruelty towards people and animals, then you love him for his honesty.
You read on, just wanting to find out what is the point of all this? But there isn't one which is fine. Why should you expect a man who admits to having bad sex to give you a book that leaves you feeling good or enlightened. Bits are sad (the junkie girlfriend in Paris), bits are gross, (Urrgh! the tour bus), there are surprising bits that make you go "yoicks" such as when he writes that there's no such thing as casual sex. There seems to be no morals and lots of morals at the same time. This book made me think about all sorts of things so it's the kind of book I like. It also made me re-evaluate the idea I had of Zodiac Mindwarp who I've been listening to since I was fourteen years old and had a picture of him on my wall from Smash Hits magazine. There are some quite rude bits too. This is not a lovely coffee table book. It's dark and nasty and you can't help peeking in it. If it were a place it would be the Reeperbahn. If it were a biscuit it would be a cafe noir.
