You dont have to be a Soft Cell fan to enjoy this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tainted Life: The Autobiography (Paperback)
If you liked 'Take It Like A Man' by Boy George, you'll probably enjoy Marc Almonds account of his antics in the 80's and 90's. He writes frankly about the friends, musicians, producers, record company bosses and general 'hangers on' with whom he surrounded himself. An odd mix of self depreciation and total belief that he is a 'star'. You dont need to be an a Soft Cell or Marc Almond fan to enjoy this.
