"After my parents divorced, my dad bought me 10 random records for Christmas one year. This was the one I connected with the most. Some of the songs are quite hard-hitting – my favourite, All the Girls Love Alice, has this killer guitar riff and a dark subject matter, about a teenage lesbian who gets murdered. I'm just a little kid, eight or nine at the time, and I'm really grooving on the music but also trying to absorb some of the lyrics. I barely even know what sex is at the time and here's this weird lesbian murder intrigue. I was like, what the fuck's going on man? I was totally in. Elton John is more than just Candle in the Wind."

Hmm...this has three stars for different reasons to the first. The first one I was confused with all the intrigue and anger and sex going on. I didn't understand the anger and the lack of reasoning behind it.

This one was more to do with the fact that about 50% of it took place behind bars. It seemed to go off on a tangent, and one I really wasn't all that bothered about. I wanted happy Elle and Penn, and it didn't happen until the last 20% or so and even that wasn't all happy.

I'm not sure if I'll be in a hurry to read more of the authors books for a while as I need to be in the mood for these dark stories.
