Review Quotes: The Cleveland Sound, 12/11/11
"Fans will revel in the guitarist's lucid memory and wicked humor--but casual rock readers will likewise enjoy this tale of one unassuming English kid's improbable rise into to the pantheon of metal godliness, thanks primarily to Iommi's fairly objective storytelling, charming prose, and keen sense of the absurd...[Iommi is] a raconteur whose words are as endearing as they are informative."
Elmore, January/February 2012
"Iommi dishes on a life of heavy music and even heavier times...Dignified and classy, while still spilling plenty of messy musical beans."
"One of the top 15 books of 2011." Midwest Book Review, January 2012
"[Black Sabbath's] interactions with other famous music personalities and Tony Iommi's perceptions of the music world make this a 'must' for fans of the group and any collection profiling rock music history."
SLUG, March 2012
"Some obscure gems...It has a rapid-fire 'quick story' quality...Tony's delightfully frank...It's honest, endearing."
