Morrissey: Scandal & Passion

I will make it brief. The reviews here prove what I have always said. There is no such thing as a "normal" Morrissey fan. Any normal person need only study the crowd outside a venue where a Morrissey concert is about to take place and they would agree with me. Pasty-faced geeks who look like a good feed would kill them, bespectacled freaks who try to look like him and who are only truly happy when they are ill. Young men who swear they are straight, but go home and masturbate to the sound of The Smiths. I could go on and on....and Morrissey is laughing all the way to the bank.

This book had the feeling of being put together mostly from other articles and books. It's not bad for a quick fix of Morrissey info, and usually has a passing comment for each song and album, but I still don't feel that I've really read a biography of Morrissey.
