Critics Review
Lonely Boy is often eye-wateringly funny … Jones is good at puncturing myth … His book’s a delight.
Lonely Boy is often eye-wateringly funny … Jones is good at puncturing myth … His book’s a delight. * Observer, ‘Music Book of the Day’ *
The Sex Pistols guitarist details his life – an impoverished Sixties childhood, sexual abuse and dalliances with crime – in a way that is both moving and candid. * Telegraph, ‘Top 50 Books of the Year’ *
The Pistols’ story, retold refreshingly and with added rumpage … What’s special about this book is its story arc, which will make the most hardened punk well up … A poignant, honest, drily humorous rump-fest from a lost soul found. * Mojo *
[An] absolute riot of revelation…[Jones] owns up to his failings with a colourful candour that is moving. – Neil McCormick * Telegraph *
It can be harrowing, hilarious, and often touching, but above all, Lonely Boy is life-affirming. Thank you, Steve Jones. * Sex-pistols.net *
[A] bloody good story … Though ghosted, Steve Jones’ own voice speaks loud and clear throughout Lonely Boy, a brutally honest … and level-headed memoir. * Record Collector *
Raucously funny. * Uncut *
A classic tale made fresh. * Ransom Note *
Lonely Boy is unique amongst rock star memoirs: Jones is the real deal. * Esquire *
Gem. * The Spectator *
