Praise for My Life In Heavy Metal

Remarkably good... Perverse, poetic, odd... It will leave you feeling quite wonderful

Guardian

'Excellent...This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex

The Times

Consistently clever... genuinely memorable

Boston Globe

While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole

Esquire

Funny, softhearted and hopeful

Los Angeles Times
