Chrissie Hynde has just written the rock memoir of the year
*Sunday Times*
Chrissie Hynde’s autobiography Reckless ... out-rocks them all
*Washington Post*
She writes just like she lives, and just like she makes music. She
does it her way, which is an inimitable multiplicity of things:
impulsive, untamed, ragged, proud, a little sad around the
edges
*Daily Beast*
Full of engaging stories, dry wit and revelations
*Guardian*
She writes beautifully
*Mail on Sunday*
Through all of the tragedy and mishaps, Reckless remains first and
foremost a love letter to rock ’n’ roll
*New York Times*
Something close to rock’s Joan Didion
*New York Times*
Fascinating
*Uncut*
She's as sharp as a tack and dryly funny...Hynde's memoir is
wonderfully written. Hynde is made of music, of the kind of music
that pulls you in and eats you up, and she has survived it. She is
a remarkable woman...
*Sunday Times, Culture*
Hundreds of great moments...Fantastic autobiography.
*BBC Radio 5 Live*
