Book Reviews of Ronnie: The Autobiography
Book Review: the most poorly edited book I've ever read
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book mostly because I wanted to read stories about Ron's days with The Faces. I saw them play many times and they were one of my favorite live bands back in the late 70's.
I'm sure that Ron Wood's story is interesting and compelling on many levels, but this book is a waste. Disorganized doesn't begin to cover how haphazardly this book is assembled. It doesn't work as history, it doesn't work as adventure, and it barely works as biography. It works best as an exercise in cluelessness, as Ron doesn't seem to have any idea how screwed up he sounds. One minute he's writing about how spectacularly broke he is, then within two sentences he's talking about flying off for a tropical vacation somewhere. Supposedly earthshattering events in his life are covered in one sentence (the deaths of loved ones is used to justify more drugs and booze). Having to take his wife to the hospital when she went into labor is literally an interruption to his partying. His chapter about drug treatment reveals no insight at all. We learn little about Stone's tours other than that each one was the best ever. Ron, your own words make you sound incredibly stupid. A train wreck from start to finish.
