Like your best friends recounting of an epic escapadeBy carlitos_92Peter Hooks writing style might not be for everyone; but for brutally honest; self-deprecating; charming (if routinely vulgar) British wit; this is a treasure trove of entertaining reading. Reading this book feels like one of your best mates recounting a story from an epic weekend escapade - only this takes place over years and years. I only knew of the Hacienda based on media accounts; now I feel like I was there. Great book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of my my favorite recent music related booksBy Cousin BobbyOne of my my favorite recent music related books. In some sense it reads like a dark comedy. The nutty incidents cant be real but they are. Id say Hook is a great story teller and Im looking forward to reading about Joy Division and New Order. I started with this book because it was my least known subject of the three. Cheers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Its cool; but...By Fernando H. RamirezMuch preferred Hooks other book. This one ... focuses on the defunct club that New Order co-owned. Despite some really cool stories here and there... it didnt grab me like his other book on Joy Division. Hook is a good writer... but this one got a bit tedious. Printing the budgets; and the lists of every appearance... I didnt think it was necessary in the body of the book. Maybe as an appendix... but I didnt enjoy that part of it. Honestly... I havent finished it yet... dont know if I will. Im like 75% there; and Ive gotten the point. If I do revisit the book (I bought the electronic version on my Kindle); then Ill come back and update this review. Essential buying if youre a fan of NEW ORDER or a HOOK completist... for some background info you get. Wish there had been MORE photos of the club.
