Review: Vulnerable, heartfelt, very enjoyable. Made me like Lol a lot more. - I found this a highly enjoyable book. It doesn't go too deeply into details about the making of The Cure's albums or insight into the songs, if that's what you're looking for. But what this book does is share Lol's life experiences, starting from his childhood. It's extremely vulnerable and heartfelt. I enjoyed the casual conversational tone that he keeps consistent throughout. It felt like Lol and I were hanging out in person. My biggest accolade goes to the fact that he's very honest, even at the expense of not making himself look too good all of the time. It's a journey through life's struggles and losses, achievements and joys. And in the end, it's a book about redemption. It's about looking back at your life, about what you find when you acknowledge your failures as your own responsibilities, and what you find about yourself then. It was more than one of those stories about an ex-alcoholic who figured out his way in life by quitting the bottle - but what he finds can be applied to all of us, even those who aren't ex-alcoholics. Additionally, I enjoyed that while telling the many stories he shares of The Cure's early tours, Lol often quickly frames events with a bit of social, political, and/or economic history. It helped greatly to understand the worldview of a specific time and place. The anecdotes of youthful debauchery were also fun; they weren't generic (as in roll my eyes because ugh it's the same old rock band story in every rock band book), yet at the same time very relatable. I found myself laughing out loud when he'd remind me of the silly things my friends and I used to do when we were kids. Being that this book is about TWO imaginary boys, it's also a reflection on the complexities of the relationships between people. It delves quite deeply into Lol's friendship with Robert. Sometimes it did feel like Lol talks more about Robert than he does about himself, but I think by talking about Robert so much, he actually reveals a lot about the kind of person that he is. When he's not battling his demons, he's extremely observant, very much in tune with his surroundings without needing to be in the spotlight all of the time, and a very loyal friend. I was so impressed by the amount of respect and trust he had for his friend Robert, and when he notices the good in people, it never comes across as being fake. Sometimes I read memoirs by people I like, that unfortunately leaves me with a less than stellar impression and makes me like them less. This book was quite the opposite. The Cure is one of my most favorite bands ever, but I never cared TOO much about Lol. However, this book really changed my impression and made me like him a lot more.
Review: One of the best music memoirs/autobiographies I've read--and not just because I love ... - One of the best music memoirs/autobiographies I've read--and not just because I love the Cure. Funnily enough, I had been thinking about the lack of any really good recent books about the Cure, or by a member of the Cure--and not a day later, I read that this book was about to be released. I ordered it and waited eagerly for its release. I didn't know what to expect; I haven't read or heard all that many interviews with Lol, and I wasn't sure what his style, voice, or tone would be like. Music autobios/memoirs are a crap shoot. Some are well done and leave you with a good sense of the individual and the evolution of his or her music and career; some are informative, but all too obviously written by ghost writers or edited with a heavy hand; and some are just plain disappointing across the board due to bad writing and/or the lack of honest self reflection and introspection on the part of the musician. So I was very pleased to find out how much I truly enjoyed the book (I read it in a couple days). Lol is honest and authentic, which makes this book a satisfying read. He does an excellent job of recounting stories from the Cure's early days from his own perspective, providing insight into the personalities and relationships that make The Cure The Cure. He's respectful of his former bandmates, while primarily turning the critical eye towards himself. And unlike some musicians, he doesn't start telling a story only to end it abruptly with "well, I won't get into what happened next, it's too personal." Any story he tells, he tells from beginning to end, getting the point across without being unnecessarily salacious or shocking. This indicates a respect for the reader as well. I'm really glad I read this book (and happened to hear about it at just the right time). I applaud Lol Tolhurst for the work he did in providing us with a genuinely insightful and satisfying read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by N***O on May 3, 2018*

Al comprar Cured, no le puse expectativas, simplemente decidí leer lo que Mr. Tolhurst quería contarnos y dejarme llevar. Soy fan de The Cure y el conocer de primera mano cómo y en qué ambiente se gestó la banda, me ha encantado. Anécdotas de unos adolescentes que antepusieron sus objetivos a las circunstancias adversas fruto del lugar y el tiempo que les tocó vivir. Nos cuenta cómo se sucedieron los acontecimientos para llegar a ser lo que actualmente son, una banda de reconocido prestigio con unos fans muy fieles a los que ellos respetan y por los que se esfuerzan para ofrecerles siempre lo mejor de sí mismos. Nos narra con mucha sinceridad cómo los demonios internos se pueden apoderar de uno sin llegar a ser verdaderamente consciente mientras estás enfrascado en tu día a día haciendo realidad tus objetivos hasta que te das de bruces con la realidad y debes tomar serias y definitivas acciones para salir del pozo. Lectura agradable y ligera. Altamente recomendable a los fans de The Cure. A mí me ha abierto una nueva senda para volver a escuchar su música y verla con otros ojos, mucho más consciente de la labor y entresijos que hay detrás. Estas memoires hacen que me guste más, si cabe, esta banda de la que soy fan desde hace casi 40 años.
