DNF @28%

I wasn't entirely sure what this was about when I got it from Smashwords. If I remember correctly, it had good ratings and reviews on there which is why I downloaded it.

Unfortunately, I didn't really gel with the storyline or the characters. And I'm not too big a fan of lots of sex in a story, unless there's romance involved in it, and considering I was only 28% (2 page turns to a %) in, about 15%--maybe more--of that must have been him looking at her "f*ck me" boots and her body and touching and kissing and wanting to do more. I get that she's got this allure about her but for me there was a little too much lusty stuff and not enough other plot in it up to that bit.

Oh, and it could do with a good editing.

"I always wanted to get back to what we did with PiL [Publice Image Ltd], but I got caught up in other things. The Sex Pistols were back on the road and no regrets: those people are my mates. Then it was all the TV work, which I loved. I discovered that nature is not something to be scared of, and best of all, that animals seem to like me! They don’t want to put me on the menu.” Lydon reflects on his not-so-punk appearance on the reality TV show ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of here’ He continued: “But hearing this absolutely brilliant record, in particular Halleluhwah, which lasts an entire side, reminds me of what we were trying to do with PiL. Can is its own thing and so is PiL. The only way to file these records is alphabetically.”

"A lot of record shops were closing around this time, and I won’t use the internet to buy them. The internet is for porno, encyclopedias, and video games, of which I waste an awful lot of time on. So I slowed down in the purchasing around here and went back to old stuff like Kate Bush. On “Wuthering Heights,” her voice is almost hysterical but always in her own register. I find it very soothing for her to be squealing away up there, it’s fantastic. She’s a gift. I love PJ Harvey too. That’s one very interesting woman who doesn’t play the sex category. She strides in there at the level of any man, and I’m really proud for her in that respect, because that’s really what we wanted in punk—we wanted girls to be the equal to the boys, and she carries that great tradition. "
