I imagine the target market of Britpop fans is quite specific, but it includes me. I saw Sleeper perform two or maybe three times in the mid-90s so it's fun to go behind the scenes in this memoir. But it's not as enlightening as I hoped. There was a little gossip (probably within legal boundaries) but I'd have liked to know more about the mechanics of writing a song or making a video or planning a tour.

I bought this because the author was the lead singer of a successful band (Sleeper) and I though her knowledge might provide some insight or plot twists. Unfortunately not. It's really yer typical 'turn of the twenties' crisis story - a few engaging, or at least original, characters but nothing much else to make it stand out from the crowd.
