Great detail on the formative years - the post "If I should fall from Grace with God" pass fast (which was about right - you wanted to know the band composition, the lack of focus, etc.)

Needs More MacGowan

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011

This is a nice piece of work that most Pogues fans will enjoy. Still, like most things written about the band it avoids the elephant in the room. We'd have never heard of the Pogues if not for Shane MacGowan. It attempts to treat each Pogue equally, but some Pogues are more equal than others. While it's true the Pogues were more than MacGowan's backing band, MacGowan was infinately more than the Pogues frontman. His genius is inadequately covered.

An excellent read.

A must for any Pogues or Shane MacGowan fan. Shanes legend still survives way past what most people expected

Stick with it..

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010

I was a little worried when I started this book, as the author liberally took quotes from Shane's documentary and the book "A Drink With Shane...". There's no reason to write a new book that just regurgitates material from other sources.

However, as I progressed through, it was clear that the real strength of the book was the interviews with the other Pogues.. Jem Finer, James Fearnley, Spider, Andrew Ranken, Phil Chevron.. even ex-manager Frank Murray. They were insightful, articulate and sometimes even conflicting accounts of what the band went through. The beginning, rise up, the fall, the reunion, the drugs, the drink, the endless touring.

There were some original quotes from Shane, but it is clear (as expected) that the other members were interviewed much more than Shane.

Overall, the author did a very good job of putting together their story in an easy to read format.

A chaotic chronicle

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2007

Carol Clerk had a difficult task in sorting out legend and fact from multiple perspectives to tell this story. She does it through extensive interviews, with the band, their peers, associates, managers and hangers-on. She doesn't try to write a narrative, she just let's everyone have their say - which is fortunate, because the band members are articulate, witty, intelligent and (surprisingly) sentimental. A great chronicle of the 75-80 zeitgeist; decent third party perspectives on the evo and devo-lution of MacGowan's genius; a good portrait of the expat Irish and the boys from County Hell.

Well Worth Reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2021

A very good book which I enjoyed. I didn't buy it on release because I hated the cover - bit foolish in retrospect. Informative and also makes you think about if things turned out for The Pogues as they always would or would less touring have made a difference?
