I'm approaching the book with as much of an open mind as I approached Hooky's two tomes. It's clear both men will put forward things "as they remember them" which may not strictly tally with what actually happened. With that in mind, Steve's book will most likely be the one to read (for sheer accuracy). Bernard's traditionally been reasonably tight-lipped in interview regarding absolute specifics of band relationships, mechanics, politics etc. preferring to fall back on "as a band, we think..." whereas Hooky - to put it mildly - has never shied away from what his own opinions are. It's going to be really interesting - perhaps more so than with Hooky's books - because this will be the first time we'll get Bernard's unvarnished and uninterrupted opinions on key people/events. Not expecting Hooky to come out of it very well after recent disputes but I'd be surprised if all of his contributions are dismissed. Looking forward to the Waterstones signing next week.

I'll have to read it properly. Also credits Hooky with musical talent quite graciously I thought.

It would have been interesting to hear Bacon ask about the legal stuff relating to reforming NO without youknowwho, and also when the new album was likely to get made/released. I don't think there was too much I didn't already know in that interview. Respect to Bacon for suggesting they just bury the hatchet anyway. He gets points for that.

They don't just like New Order, they feel a profound connection between the band, music and themselves. It goes way beyond simply liking a catchy tune, its deeply personal : its not just a case of playing our music while they're washing the pots or catching us occasionally on the radio - these are people whose lives have been changed, who've found some kind of solace or inspiration in what we've done. My favourite line from the book so far, never a truer word spoken. As for the book itself, enjoyable I obviously don't want to spoil it for the rest so that's all I am saying

As for the book itself, enjoyable I obviously don't want to spoil it for the rest so that's all I am saying I told Bernard as much when I got the chance to meet him last year. New Order, and Joy Division as well, got me through my brother's passing. I got both band's Substance (via BMG) in the mail just days after he passed and I connected immediately to the music. New Order helped me try to find joy and dance without fear. Powerful stuff...

I kind of zone out these days when it comes to the tales about the legal wranglings with the Hacienda and prefer to read stories and accounts that i've not previously read about.Even if it's little tales like the one about when he was driving a hire car in America and it turned out it had faulty brakes.Then there's other tales which i had previously read about but had long forgotten. I actually found myself laughing reading about the breakdown in relations between Hooky and the rest of the band..just found a lot of the incidents Bernard recounts on that subject hilarious.But Bernard's bit about "do the maths" was hard to argue with. I've tried to give my personal opinion of the book there without giving much away to people that haven't read it yet and i feel i haven't given too much away Thought there would have been a lot more posts on this thread or the forum in general from people giving their thoughts on the book, whether they liked it or not( without giving the story away of course!)Bit odd and strange there's only been a handful of posts.

I suppose experts or scientists or whoever would dismiss that kind of thing and come up with some explanation about it's not possible to remember under hypnosis or any other method some previous life (if there is such a thing) but my gut reaction is that Bernard really did manage to do that with Ian Curtis.But then again experts would probably say i'm biassed towards Bernard .

Whatever, real books can be hard work after kindle - though I'll eventually get it in paperback at least, so as to have something to hold onto. It seems very readable, perhaps more so than Morrissey's Autobiography which I read whenever I'm in the dentist waiting room as there seems to be no 3G there. I'm still only 23% of the way through. I see someone has already put up a silly review on Amazon - though this is now perhaps a tradition and only to be expected.

I'll read Bernard's Book before I finish the Morrissey one.
