He had already developed a keen problem back in London. One of the reasons I stayed with Sid Vicious on the bus during the American tour, driving, rather than flying, from state to state, gig to gig, was to keep him away from drugs. So Sid and I slept with the road crew in a motel in San Jose, fifty miles outside San Francisco. Malcolm McLaren said there wasn’t any room left for me and Sidney. The morning after I still didn’t have a hotel room, did I? At least not with the band. The night of the gig I didn’t even have a hotel room. That last Winterland gig was a failure, and I knew it more than anyone. Everything between was equally disastrous. The Sex Pistols ended the way they began-in utter disaster.

The second reason why I really enjoyed this book was because the author really described the characters motives so well, I felt like I could see inside their brain. I began to see how similar I was to all the characters in the book. The first reason why I couldn't put down this book is that you can really relate to all the characters, mainly because they are living the kid dream/paradise. I really enjoyed this novel for three main reasons. The book "Sting" by Jude Watson is a wonderfully written book about two kids who go on a crime spree to break a curse and to win back their fortune that they lost from the previous book "Loot" which I also highly recommend. ![]() |
