It honestly hurts me to give this two stars. I waffled back and forth between two and three, two seemed like too few and three too much. Oh, Morrissey, I do love you...but this was just a mess.
Despite being just over a hundred pages this was thick with near inpenetrable purple prose bulking out a very thin story. It was a failure, but an admirable one.
One of the worst books I've ever read. The writing (and the plot and everything about it) is *so* clunky, it's not even funny.
Well I loved this book, the way it was written, his turn of phrase.
Completely bonkers, original, insane, hilarious. Mozza takes Harry Crews, Norman Mailer, Flann O'Brien, Boris Vian and of course Oscar Wilde to a Smiths gig their soulds, shocked and awed by the moody, electrified cacophony before them, they throw back a psychic wail that impregnates itself between Mozza legs so he can ejaculate all over the essence of the USA! Little Richard sung 'goodness gracious great balls of fires', Mozza gives us 'the list of the lost' . Thank the Lord of Guns that Mozza was a massive pop icon, because if he wasn't this book would disappear for a hundred years, only to be rediscovered by a small, boutique imprint that specialises in European post-surrealist literature featuring authors who died in broke and insane obscurity..alas Mozza is here, and now, and very alive. Feel the burn........!
Tolerated it because of my love of Morrissey. This is a baffling read.

the plot could be fabulous, the idea is really cool... but fuck me you can absolutely tell that morrissey wrote this shit - every chapter has some extensive garble about killing animals and moaning about american foreign/domestic policy in a way that completely separates itself from the story... in 118 pages there is very little story and a lot of boomer drivel
