Reviews
"Highly readable. An excellent portrait, probably unbeatable both for its moving depiction of his youth and thrilling rise to fame and for its myth-busting finality."
Los Angeles Times
"Cross has written what he modestly calls 'a' biography, one by which all future biographers of the man will have to set their compasses."
Times (London)
"A more intimate portrait than previous biographies. Funny, poignant, provocative, and sometimes disturbing."
