No one reading Keith Richards’ Life should expect the book to describe a normal one. Massive amounts of drugs, especially heroin, legal battles in the court and on the street, fights and accidents. Who knew that he carries a knife and knows how to use it?
All this makes for fascinating reading, if you are interested in drug stories. He began with pharmaceutical grade cocaine and heroin, tried everything else and is hardly apologetic. But if you want to learn about his relationships with his bandmates, for example, forget it.
