5.0 out of 5 stars A moving, hilarious, detailed journey of one of rock's legends., 24 Oct 2007
An incredible story, Ronnie was much more than I expected. 60 years old and still rockin', this man has done it all. From a small house in london to the world's biggest stages, Ronnie has had an hilarious, moving, dangerously exciting six decades and this highly readable memoir will stay with you for a long while. The book rolls you through the ups and downs of his life, his 'relationship' with girls, booze and drugs, his love for music and art and his travels with Rod, Kieth, Mick and the rest of rocks unmentionables.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ronnie Be Good, 25 Oct 2007
By K. Amachree - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I couldn't put this book down . Ronnie is a great story teller , but always being himself, so you feel you are reading a friend's book . Sometimes he leaves one with an open mouth , and saying how did he survive and did he really do that! I liked Ronnie Wood before reading this book now I love the guy . He's a real human being that has has brought some great music , laughter, and life into so many lives . Nice one Ronnie I look forward to Ronnie part two .

1.0 out of 5 stars don't give up the day job!, 1 Oct 2008
This review is from: Ronnie (Paperback)
I've been a huge fan of the Stones since I first started getting interested in music round about the early 70's. I'm told that my Uncle used to bunk off school in the middle of cross country running, to pop in at his sister's (my Mum's) house to play the latest Stones release when I was much smaller. Seeing the Stones live for the first time in 1982 suggested to me that they were past their best; but they managed to bang out a handful more great albums, up to the awful Dirty Work; and not a decent record since. There's no denying though that they have a back catalogue to die for!
I've loved Woody's input from Black & Blue onwards. There's no taking away from the man, he is a terrific musician. I even have his solo recordings (well - the first 4 of them anyway) and they stand up as great period pieces from a man who has without doubt seen the world and more.
As a writer, however, forget it. The book is appallingly written, filled with lists of dropped names of the rich, famous and influential (ALL close personal friends, of course); tales of his philandering are told with a grin in the hope that the women he's hurt (and their partners) along the way will see it all as a bit of fun; relentless talk of his devotion to Jo (somewhat ironic given the current gutter press coverage of his alleged latest flame): all in all, he has written himself as a quite loathsome specimen of a man. I suppose at least he's painting himself honestly - if we are to believe his drug and booze addled reminiscences.
I was deeply disappointed. I was looking forward to enjoying the book and liking the man. I did read it all the way through very easily - the style is childish at best and makes for easy reading at any rate.
I can only hope that Ronnie does not commit pen to paper again; least of all for the crime suspense novel that he moots in the last chapter (no doubt making full use of his close personal friendships with the cast and crew of CSI).
If you want to know about Ronnie Wood's life, read the book by all means. Don't expect to believe it all though; and don't expect to come out of it thinking that he isn't better off concentrating on his fabulous musicianship.
Dreadful.
Cheers,
SPARKY ;-)
