Product ReviewsLife by James Fox and Keith Richards (2011, Trade Paperback)

Utterly honest, engaging

Well written with entries by real-life characters. Insider look at the music industry without being over-the-top critical. Life as it was in the 60s era. Richards is a compelling person with both foibles and incredible talent. A natural talent with human failings and gifts. What a guy!Read full review...

Great book!

This is a great read. "Keef's" voice can be heard clearly in the conversational tone that flows throughout the book.

Life? It was bigger than this!

Much more "Life" needs urgently adding to this less-than gripping telling of Keith's actual life.

I got the distinct impression that his biographer neither understood Keith, band life, hedonism, rock 'n roll, blues, or how to write engagingly about any of them.

A supposed hell-raiser nonpareil, Richards is reduced to considerably less by this book.

Compared especially to say, Mick Fleetwood's absorbing revelations, or to Pete Townshend's even more frank and often graphic publication, this book comes in as an also-ran.

Sorry, I could not even nearly recommend Keith Richards' book, "Life".Read full review...

Keith Richards Rocks!

This is a very interesting book that covers everything you want to know about becoming a musician/songwriter. Richards discusses how he got into playing the guitar, the type of music he focused on, records he and Mick listened to, groupies, and more. There is a lot of interesting stuff in this book. A lot. I bought this book because I like music, guitars, songwriting, and rebels (with creative minds and loads of common sense). Keith Richards rocks!Read full review...
