As such, with that on the plate, I often felt 'hell, this could have been so much better if it'd been edited properly!' when reading this book. I'm not talking about the contradictions—e.g. 'money doesn't matter to me!' vs the multitudes of times when Tricky counts how much money he's made—but of how the entire book is filled with little anecdotes that, in the end, left me feeling this book is a more a mosaic that forms a weird pattern as a whole, instead of becoming a lovely brocade. Tricky should have had a look at Bret Anderson's two autobiographical books for inspiration: those are intricate and, at the same time, filled with air and form a cohesive base that brings out the content much better than Tricky's book has.
Having said all that, there are good things going for this book. The fact that Tricky has let others take part in this book is great: in the middle of chapters, somebody comes in and provides their perspective on things. It's refreshing, even though I can't help but wonder how much has been omitted from the final book.

When music entered your life in the sense that it does when you're young and discover a band that's yours:
He went into Massive Attack and I think there's something really telling about this paragraph on how and when he decided to leave the band or/and Wild Bunch:
There are some lovely words on people who should be recognised more, like, say, Rakim:
About 'the Bristol scene':
On PJ Harvey:
There is some lovely reminiscences in this book, but it lacks editing; if you can handle that, and love pop-culture and entertainment tidbits, read up. ( )
