Keith Richards
'Electrifying' New York Times
'Funny, poignant, brutally honest' Sunday Telegraph
'Immensely readable' Sunday Times
'Once you begin this, wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away' Independent
As a member of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics and the songs that roused the world, and over four decades he lived the original rock and roll life: taking the chances he wanted, speaking his mind, and making it all work in a way that no one before him had ever done.
Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. In Life, Keith narrates his loves and losses, stratospheric fame and success, and the endless stories which have led to his enduring image as outlaw and folk hero.
In a voice that is uniquely and intimately his own, with the disarming honesty that has always been his trademark, Keith Richards brings us the essential life story of our times.

Critic Reviews
Electrifying... the intimate and moving story of one man's long strange trip over the decades, told in dead-on, visceral prose without any of the pretence, caution or self-consciousness that usually attend great artists sitting for their self-portraits
Densely packed with incident... immensely readable. A memoir so full of incident it feels like the author's lived three lives, not one
LIFE is pretty faultless as the quintessential depiction of the man in full and his extraordinary life and times to date
Funny, poignant, brutally honest, engagingly colloquial, Life is pure Keith Richards, as good a rock memoir as you are likely to read.
A masterpiece, the most sustained, colourful and rambunctious rampage through his [Keith's] 67 years imaginable
This is a good, gossipy read. Keith comes across as a thoroughly decent man, with just a hint of the devil. His relationship with Jagger is complex and fascinating
Dark, honest and gleefully indiscreet from the first page to the last, it puts some of today's painfully dull musicians to shame
Once you begin this, wild, wild horses couldn't drag you away
A hilarious, ribald and often shocking tale told elegantly and with much candidness
I was hooked from the start
LIFE may be the best rock star autobiography ever
The fact that Keith is still alive to tell the story is incredible
yes it's long but worth it .
Fantastic book loved every word of it .
