This is a short book. It can be easily read inside of fifteen minutes, if you don’t count the time taken up in chortling from one of Keith’s witticisms. It is true to what the other reviews have indicated, there are empty spaces and illustrations to fill the pages.
But consider. This is still one of the KR compilations around and one of my favorites. Reason:
The quotations are current. The majority of the Richards quotations date after 2000. Since the quotations are relatively recent, they cover recent events, such as his humorous reactions to Jagger’s solo album, Goddess on the Doorstep, and Jagger’s knighthood. Other compilations may be larger or contain more quotes, such as the one where he said he never had a problem with drugs, only with police. Quotations such as these are well-known, we have heard or read them before, and those quotes, however classic they may be, is true “filler.”
The quotations emphasize his humor. Keith’s wisdom is intimately connected with his humor, because if there is any one person who has the right to look at the light side of life — indeed, one who should be glad to BE alive — well, it is Keith Richards.
He is one of a kind, and this collection is a fine look into this unique character.
