Review
". . . wise, breezy, supersmart memoir . . . Marr's defiantly unghostwritten book is pleasant and direct . . ." * Guardian * "An unpretentious, clearly written memoir recounting his journey from a working-class upbringing on the outskirts of Manchester to his status as a musical polymath" * The Times * "Set the Boy Free - a telling title again - is much more than an obituary for a brilliant band. It's also a love letter to the women in Marr's life ... and a guide on how to keep changing and moving on with your creative life." * The Observer * "It is a pleasure .... to read a memoir by a five-star guitar hero that ... present[s] a particular life in rock as one of pure, disarming joy and open possibility" * New Statesman * "The perfect book for aspiring musicians" * Evening Standard * "Excellent" * The Sun * "Set the Boy Free is a trip down memory lane featuring the all-star cast that Marr has rubbed shoulders with ... and it will likely serve as a guidebook to anyone who's ever dreamed about picking up the guitar and trying their hand at making music for a living because, at its heart, Set the Boy Free is written by a music fan for music fans." * Esquire * "His sweetly and deceptively simple account of his lively youth and The Smith's early, joyous years ... will touch many" * Mail on Sunday * "Grounded and positive" * MOJO * "His writing is compassionate, courageous and concerned" * Gigwise * "Set The Boy Free tells the ordinary yet fascinating story of arguably one of the most influential guitar players of all time" * The Pool * "An excellent memoir. . . Stars don't come much brighter than Johnny Marr ... And it's a pleasure to hear the story from the man himself" * Manchester Evening News * "Smiths fans will love it for the insight into the songs ... He is relentlessly upbeat and positive" * RTE Radio Arena Show * "Set The Boy Free aims to set the record straight on the story of one of rock's most contentious break-ups" * Hot Press * "Marr's directness is refreshing" * AV Club * "A must read for indie fans" * Vive le Rock *
