I'm not a fan of biographies, but this one lived exceeded every expectation I had. It was truly horrific in some parts, wistful in others; a true mix that one can only feel when looking back on their life.

This was a quick one to get through, and despite being a modern classic it doesn't read like a classic. Michel is frank but elusive, claiming to share his story in the most straight-forward manner he is able to while simultaneously dancing around the point. It can be frustrating at times, but overall has the affect of sounding very human.

This has to be one of my favourite BSD light novels, second only to Stormbringer. It was fast-paced, brutal and absolutely gripping, with a satisfying ending. Even if you have only just started BSD, you will easily be able to follow along.
