I liked this book, would have liked to have seen some never published DL photos but it was a good book nonetheless. What I liked most was Phil's honesty. I compared his accounts to that of an ex-girlfriend of Steve Clark. Unlike the ex, who used and still uses Steve Clark as promotion for her book and anything else she does. Phil spoke very honestly and from the heart in regards to Steve, as a person, a friend, and about his alcoholism. He also spoke candidly about his own drinking issues and stated that a lot of things that happened back then, he could not remember because he was seriously drunk. Unlike the ex-he did not have detailed recall on events that occurred thirty or so years ago, and under the influence of drugs, alcohol or both. And he did clear up what some of us believed to be one of her biggest lies in the book; that she did not know who DL was. Phil stated that at a Christmas party he attended with Mensch, they met and during a discussion, she told Phil that she and her friend lived in Paris, Phil told her that he and Steve would be spending time there and she suggested they call her when they arrived, she and her friend would show them around. In her version, the only part that's true was that she was a friend of Mensch. Not because Mensch called her and had to plead with her to show them around Paris. Up to this point in her book, she already portrayed herself as a floozy (average-nothing special "model") who bedded musicians. Phil admitted to a lot of stuff he did remember, had a lot of women, several broken marriages and kids from at least a couple or so. I am glad he didn't detail some of the exploits by other band members, out of respect. If they want to air their dirty laundry, that's their business, and I respect that. I recommend this book. It is not a fabricated fairytale of more fiction than fact by some ex, who was dumped roughly 2 years before Steve passed. It was a sad tragedy for Steve, and Phil didn't exploit his friend to sell books.

Great Insight
A great book. It obviously includes all the rock n' roll 'war' stories that Def Leppard has generated, but it also gives enlightening insights into one's outlook on life, growth, and changes.
