This was strangely hard going (it took me a year to finish) and I'm not sure why. It's written in a conversational style which would normally make it an easy read, but I found it a little grating after a while. Fair play to Hooky, he's honest, even when that means he comes across as a grumpy childish dickhead.

arlenefinnigan I can see why the timeline lists interspersing the narrative were included but I found them a bit repetitive. It's a great comprehensive account of Joy Division's story though, and his reflections on Ian Curtis' death are really moving. 4y
TrishB Agree with all of that! And I‘ve met him and agree with your assessment too 😁 4y
arlenefinnigan @TrishB I posted this review on Facebook and funnily enough, you're not the only one saying this...... 4y

A triangle of Hooky. Hubby‘s band featured on a New Order tribute album and they were invited to play at a club in London. Hooky turned up to meet the bands! He‘s a good un, they‘ve sadly torn the band apart now ☹️

arlenefinnigan I bet Hooky would be brilliant to go for a night out with. Or awful. 5y
gradcat Love Joy Division. 5y
gradcat @arlenefinnigan Or awfully brilliant...or brilliantly awful...ok, I‘ll shut up now. 5y
TrishB @gradcat love Joy Division too ♥️ I like some New Order stuff, but not the poppy stuff. 5y

An interesting read with some amusing anecdotes about one of the most iconic clubs of the early 90s. Littered with grammatical errors and more of a memoir from ‘Hooky‘ than a clear account of what actually happened at the club though.

A must read! It destroys the myth of Ian Curtis and turns him into an actual human being. It‘s a very powerful and short read. It can get tough when it gets to his demise but I think it‘s an important read.

If by "party people" you mean "people reading books."
Did it. Finally. Completed a readathon. Now I never have to do it again! I MIGHT. But probably not.
