A fast-paced absorbing account of Danny Sugerman's complicated life from childhood through to manhood. Funny on one level as Danny recounts his youthful pranks but poignant on another as he strives to cope with a difficult homelife and the stressful life encountered at school due to his unconventional behaviour. Jim Morrison made a huge and lasting impact on Danny's life that made this book possible.Great Read.
