My thanks to NetGalley and Muswell Hill Publishing for a copy of “From Mohair Suits To Kinky Boots “ for an honest review.

I loved reading this book ! It was full of reminiscences of a very full ,and varied life , told with humour.
I didn’t really know much about Geoff Deane before , but was aware of Modern Romance from the 80s .I looked them up on YouTube, and was reminded of how much of their music I’d forgotten.
This is a book full of nostalgia and it was a joy from start to finish

Highly entertaining and intriguing memoir. The author is a talented storyteller and this witty and well written book kept me hooked and entertaining.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This was a colourful look at a life lived loudly and well. I liked the fact that the author simply flung himself into anecdotes without any real sense of a narrative thread. Information just appeared as if it were more a random selection of essays. I find this quite satisfying. Autobiographies tend to struggle in the early years because unless that person had a particularly fascinating childhood, there's a fair amount of road to travel before noteworthy things happen. A non-linear narrative helps with that. It finished just as strangely as it began and I admire that. Funny, scathing, at times tender and poignant, but not too many times. I'd have liked more, but that's the way to leave people, wanting more.

I had a blast reading this collection of essays that together form a memoir. It was like I was invited to the pub and got to have a conversation with Deane over a pint -- for all the essays! There was times I was laughing so hard that I doubled over! The imagery and his turn of phrase turned these amazing incidents into situations I could vividly imagine. My favourite bit has to be the dog and the hot water. I just couldn't stop laughing for hours after-- I'm giggling now thinking about it! I also loved the cockney that sprinkled throughout -- it gave it a more authentic feel (again, helping my imagination to conjure us in the pub having a pint). My only complaint was that the stories weren't organized chronologically but knowing the basis of where they started and the point of them, it was easy to overlook it.

As a lover of fashion (particularly Mod fashions) and Music (eclectic), I was very much looking forward to reading this memoir. Well, it doesn't disappoint. Geoff is a born raconteur and he perfectly illustrates the changing times. I really enjoyed this book, thanks.

A vastly entertaining and hysterical account of the weird and wonderful showbiz life off Geoff Deane. Packed with laughs

Very interesting autobiography about a man who has had a very full life indeed.
Not as hilarious as the blurb promised it would be, but there are several stories that are quite amusing.
For a free book, it is well worth the download!
