What The Reviewers Say

Chris Vognar,
The Los Angeles Times
Defined largely by humility. This is an introspective story written by a man whose spirit is never far removed from the sadness and grief of his childhood.
Alan Light,
The New York Times Book Review
Ambitious, sprawling.
Dorian Lynskey,
The Guardian (UK)
Nobody has done more to expand the parameters of rock stardom, often in contentious ways.
Chris Klimek,
The Washington Post
Fascinatingly (and occasionally maddeningly) discursive memoir of the lightning-rod U2 frontman.
