About this title

Review:

'Clever, witty and perfect for dads who like metal (clubs)' --The Times

'...an extraordinary combination of golf primer, rock-star autobiography and 12-step survival guide.' --Daily Telegraph, December 2008

Synopsis:

Alice Cooper has not formally written his autobiography. But nothing could come closer than this book which, in telling the story of how one of the wild men of rock has ended up a demon, driven golfer, has to tell the story of his whole life.No surprise, then, that the hardback publication of "Golf Monster" was greeted with queues all round the shop at his London signing at Borders, and that the book quickly went into three printings. This is a celebrity autobiography which, like Slash's surprise Christmas bestseller, has a real story to tell.This is the story of how Cooper became one of the biggest rock stars on the planet with hits like "School's Out" and "Elected", nearly lost it all to drink, and turned things around by finding a healthy obsession - golf - to replace the unhealthy addiction to alcohol.Cooper is still a major live act (toured last autumn with Motorhead), but also one of the best celebrity golfers. He's also a highly intelligent and urbanely witty man (as his regular chat show appearances and Planet Rock radio show testify) who writes as well as he speaks.
