Book Reviews of Tainted Life: The Autobiography
Book Review: Difficult to put down
Summary: 5 Stars
Marc Almond gives us a personally responsible and earnest look back at his childhood, his outrageous years in art school, his rise and descent with Soft Cell and his solo career - all in a sort of intimate, conversational way. When you try to put it down you find yourself thinking, "Okay, Marc just one more story..."
This is a firsthand account of the most fascinating era in rock history. The 80s were a time when anything was possible, and every imaginable personal vice was being dragged from every closet to the public eye. Marc was there, before Boy George and before Madonna, blazing a trail and providing an outlet for disaffected and rebelious youth. The drugs, the parties, the sex, the kitsch, the drama....it's all very entertaining.
Summary of Tainted Life: The Autobiography
Marc Almond's story features a larger than life cast of characters. It recounts his "de rigeur" plunge into drink, drugs, and debauchery as well as being an intimate portrait of the star-making personalities of the 1980s.
