Critics Review
‘Sandford gamely makes his way through the binges and the arrears, the marital break-ups and the internecine feuds, and finds an uproarious comedy in the luxuriant squalor and knockabout chaos of it all.’ * Observer *
‘A highly professional reference biography that, if you pardon the expression, leaves no Stone unturned and is by no means bereft of memorable anecdotes.’ – Charles Shaar Murray * Literary Review *
‘Sex and the Stones laid bare in candid new book.’ * Sun *
’[Sandford] does a good job of giving us the full story in humorous tones. Tales of friendships, flings, rivalries (especially the central one between Jagger and Richards) are all told with welcome irreverence.’ * Independent *
‘A new book on the Rolling Stones reveals Mick Jagger once arrived on court for a tennis match against Keith Richards togged out in Wimbledon-style whites. Keef rolled up in cut-off jeans, with a fag in his mouth and thrashed Mick 6-1. What s not to love about the guy?’ * People *
