adamrussell's review against another edition
reflective
sad
slow-paced
3.25
Even without the acknowledged misrepresentation of certain relationships, this book has problems. Moby describes events from 40+ years’ ago with a level of detail and familiarity that cannot be accurate. In doing so, he undermines the credibility of his broader narrative.
This book also wallows - consuming it feels a little like the self-indulgence Moby has indulged in for so much of his adult life. It would be more interesting to hear less about the parties, and a bit more about the shame the morning after andhis subsequent battle with alcoholism, once he admitted his problem .
Still, it takes a level of vulnerability to write a book like this. Then It Fell Apart provides a level of insight into the fragile reality of celebrity that is hard to find, and hard to read.
