This review is from: Ian McCulloch: King of Cool (Paperback)

A non-biography, with no purchase on Ian McCulloch. You could write as good a book or better by plowing through back issues of the *NME* and phoning a few of the subject's friends. Perfunctory at best--a model for what a biography of this person should not be.
