Product Description
We all went to school with friends who've turned out more successful than ourselves. But they don't all call up from improbably glamorous places and drive us mad by telling us about it. And they're not all Bono.
Neil McCormick always dreamed of life as a rock star. Instead, he had to watch while his friend became one of the most famous men on the planet. Read it and weep - with sympathy and with laughter.
