"Another great book by Peter hook" according to Lovblad. Peter Hook has already written Two great autobiographical books. The best remains The first one about The hacienda. His book on joy division was refreshing and a great read. Now, coming after The book on The subject of New Order by Bernard Sumner comes his take on his second book. Now, i was always a Much greater New Order fan, Partly due to The fact that joy division was history by The time i got into music, But i had The chance to buy The 12" of Blue Monday when it came out and was Completely blown away. Since Then i have kept an interest, a bit from a distance. Anyway, For Those WHO wonder,. "The Final Word on the Story of New Order?" according to John S. Peter Hook's third book is the most violent, honest and hilarious autobiography of a musician I've ever read. Without much a do, he dives straight into sex, drugs and rock and roll, never mind the cliche. An eye-opener for many people, including those who have followed the band for years (like me).

"A Tale Well Told" according to Amazon Customer. Peter Hook speaks with an honest authority and passion about his time in New Order. As he has done with his other two books, has has pulled back the curtain on the bands "anti-pop/anti-style" approach to show how human they could be. I think Hook lays out his case against New Order and Bernard Sumner well, with some justifiable bitterness, however, he is incredibly kind and a bit reverent toward the all rest of the band, as if he seems to recognize the band together was exponentially more than the sum of their parts. Sadly, Steven Morris seems almost a third wheel in the tale, I am not sure if
