Whether you enjoy his music or not, love him or hate him, Almond has led such a recklessly exciting life that this book will make for a fascinating read, particularly appealing to those too scared to take a walk on the wild side for themselves. Yes, there are the usual rock 'n' roll tales of alcohol and drug addiction but what makes this book special is Almond's exploration of both the seedier aspects of life and the darker realms of the soul. Tainted Life also dissects the music business and the personalities who litter its corridors and includes such colourful characters as svengali manager Stevo and wayward singer Cindy Ecstasy, plus celebrities such as Madonna, Gene Pitney and Andy Warhol. Almond is an accomplished writer and looks back upon his hectic life with a critical eye and a dry sense of humour, recognising his triumphs and achievements, yet equally acknowledging his faults and failures. At times torch singer, at others arts maverick, Almond has always been an innovative and creative talent; he has recently enjoyed critical success for the album Open All Night (1999) and the book Beautiful Twisted Night, a collection of poetry, verse and prose. His autobiography is no exception, managing to inform and entertain in an intimate way while remaining honest and open throughout. The moment you begin the journey through Almond's Tainted Life you won't stop until you reach the end. --Robert Brookes
