". . . wise, breezy, supersmart memoir . . . Marr’s defiantly
unghostwritten book is pleasant and direct . . ."
*Guardian*
"An unpretentious, clearly written memoir recounting his journey
from a working-class upbringing on the outskirts of Manchester to
his status as a musical polymath"
*The Times*
"Set the Boy Free – a telling title again – is much more than an
obituary for a brilliant band. It’s also a love letter to the women
in Marr’s life … and a guide on how to keep changing and moving on
with your creative life."
*The Observer*
"It is a pleasure …. to read a memoir by a five-star guitar hero
that … present[s] a particular life in rock as one of pure,
disarming joy and open possibility"
*New Statesman*
"The perfect book for aspiring musicians"
*Evening Standard*
