'Suzi was one of the first and one of the best girl rock 'n' roll bass players. She's a classic' -- Paul McCartney 'Suzi Quatro was, is and forever will be a 'legend' sitting high upon the top of my pops' -- Tom Hanks 'Suze, don't ever write a book coz you remember everything' -- Noddy Holder

Product Description
Little Susie from Detroit grew up to be legendary rocker Suzi Quatro, international superstar musician and actress, icon of the Seventies. The transformation was fuelled by huge talent, determination, hard work and a fabulous sense of humour, but it wasn't easy. In UNZIPPED, Suzi tells her story of life behind the scenes and in the thick of it , working, partying and rocking with other legendary figures such as Noddy Holder, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop. Little Susie learned a love of music at home with her fascinating, fractious family, then she forged her sound by touring dives all over the States. She came to London just as Glam Rock was kicking off and became a star, a passionate woman in a man's world. Then there was fame as a Hollywood actress in Happy Days, a turbulent personal life and the need to juggle her family with her career, touring all over the world. There were lows as well as highs, but she never lost her total joy in music or her sense of adventure. Suzi Quatro has met anyone who was anyone in music over the last thirty years. She remembers it all and this brilliantly personal, funny book is her thrilling account of life lived going hell for leather.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inside Out and Raw to the bone , September 15, 2007

By	Karen Hogan "middle-aged misfit" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The pages of this book uniquely reveal a very intense physical and emotional roller coaster ride describing what little Susie from Detroit went through to become Rock'N'Roll Star Suzi Quatro. There is humor and there is sadness. But be forewarned that once you start reading this book you won't beable to put it down until you reach the last word...and kleenex maybe required for optimum reading experience. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hard Read..., November 4, 2008

By	JettNJett "Jett" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unzipped (Paperback)

I must start by saying that I have been a Quatro fan for years! I still am! I own all Her music! I was very excited when this book was released and couldn't wait to own a copy! But....I am halfway through the book and must say that it is a very difficult book to read...Its exciting reading all the behind the scenes of Suzis life...But the constant writing of the "two Suzis"..like She's a schizo...I realize that She is a true Gemini...But come on...Enough of the duel personality! AND She doesn't paint a pretty picture of Her family...accusing Her brother of causing Her Moms cancer and having Her Dad as such a racist, calling Hendrix a Monkey! So, Yes, this book is for the diehard fans...She comes across as whiney and arrogant at times, But if You are a huge fan, and I am...You can trudge Your way through...Yes, Its not easy at times...But..Thats Geminis!!! LOL

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Zipped, February 17, 2008

By	J. Cooper "bookworm" (South Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

for the die hard fan only. when an author constantly refers to herself in the third person so know that you have an ego on board. A ghost writer may have been able to make more of her story because the author just does not have the writing chops to carry it off. it often comes off as self congratulatory and shallow.
