4.0

An entirely unrepentant accounting of Richards youth and heyday with the Rolling Stones. It's a good read, with a strong, clear voice and a surprising amount of detail (I suspect Richards is an inveterate journal keeper). Richards waxes rhapsodic about his love of music, drugs and guns. A number of incidents are narrated by friends of Richards, which is an interesting technique, though when it's told by his son, Marlon, I found a little disturbing. Like I said, unrepentant to the end.
