Hell Is Round the Corner

De: Tricky

Narrado por: Gavin Osborn, Kirris Riviere, Lucy Price-Lewis

Tricky is one of the most original music artists to emerge from the UK in the past 30 years. His signature sound, coupled with deep, questioning lyrics, took the UK by storm in the early 1990s and was part of the soundtrack that defined the post-rave generation.

This unique, no-holds barred autobiography is not only a portrait of an incredible artist - it is also a gripping slice of social history packed with extraordinary anecdotes and voices from the margins of society.

Tricky examines how his creativity has helped him find a different path to that of his relatives, some of whom were bare-knuckle fighters and gangsters, and how his mother's suicide has had a lifelong effect on him, both creatively and psychologically. With his unique heritage and experience, his story will be one of the most talked-about music autobiographies of the decade.

Great and sad story

Very touching story. Well put together with memories of close people.
Badly read though. Even though the voice is very close to Tricky’s but actor is overacting, screaming when there is no need.
Entertaining but annoying to listen to sometimes.

Wonderful book - narration too enthusiastic

I loved the insight this book provided into Tricky’s life. I’ve been a fan of his music for so many years, and this put it in perspective for me. It’s well written and honest.

The narration however did not, in my mind, capture the book well enough. It was, somehow, over enthusiastic with a lot of exclamations which, over time, got rather annoying.

It was still worth the listen, the merits of the book outweighing the narration.
