Critics Review

Tim Booth has written a book so masterful, it’s near-impossible to fathom When I Died For the First Time could be a debut novel. Searing, incisive, operatic, it’s a jagged intimate epic which deftly weaves through every imaginable sensation and emotion. Out of darkness comes the extraordinary heart Tim is known for, as one of the world’s greatest musical artists. This demands to be read with urgency, so plan on staying up late – Ross Katz, Producer of Lost in Translation, Writer and DirectorWhat a ride this is! A big wide book. An amazingly vivid piece of writing, from the hilarious to the horrifying and everything in between – Brian Eno

Tim Booth doesn’t have to imagine the character of an arena-filling rock star wracked by historical personal trauma, existential doubt and a propensity for addiction, because he has long been acquaintedwith him. A tour de force

– Ian Gittins, journalist and authorA diverting, playful, rollicking slice of rock’n’roll life * Irish Times *
