Chapter and Verse: New Order, Joy Division and Me by Bernard Sumner
3.0
This is an interesting autobiography by someone who's been in some really successful bands and who's now trying to sort out things. I have little doubt that the advent of his former Joy Division/New Order band mate Peter Hook's autobiography, which was released a little earlier this year, which threw daggers at Sumner. Here, Sumner spends a good deal of time to sort that out.
At the same time, Sumner explains his growing up in Salford, Manchester, a lot. It's been really interesting to read about his upbringing and how he's handled things, including massive success.
Sumner's really self-deprecating which is funny and injects air into the story. In other words, he takes the piss out of himself which is fun.
All in all: a good read on what his life's been like so far. He seems to know that he's lucky enough to be able to support himself by creating and performing music.
