Absolutely Brilliant

Listened to this book a few times now and it still makes me laugh and shocks me at times. There's only one Keith Moon!

Entertaining and Heartbreaking

The story of two people who work together but obviously with time become such great friends, have such adventures, good and bad, it's a shame it ended sadly with a ting of bitterness from Keith Moon.
