Review

'Mark Putterford has faithfully reconstructed the life of an illegitimate black child who rose from a childhood of petty taunts because of the colour of his skin to become a hero worldwide, but more importantly, an Irish icon, a person that the whole nation adored...This book is an incisive but easy read; it is not a weighty tome that scrutinises every aspect of Phil Lynott's life in lengthy, drawn out passages...This is a brilliant book about one of rock's true superstars.'
