This is the rollercoaster story of Joy Division – the friendships, fights, fall-outs; the rehearsals and recording sessions; the larger than life characters – told by the band’s legendary bassist, Peter Hook.\n \n 'Hook has restored a flesh-and-blood rawness to what was becoming a standard tale. Few pop music books manage that' Guardian\n \n 'An honest, enthusiastic account . . . it’s a window like no other into the reality of life in this most aloof of bands' Metro\n \n 'An immense account of Joy Division’s rise . . . having read Hook’s book, you’ll feel like you were the fifth member of the band' GQ\n \n 'A bittersweet, profanity-filled recollection . . . if you like Joy Division, you really have to read it' Q Magazine\n \n 'Hook lifts the lid on the real Ian Curtis' NME\n \n 'He's frank, incredibly funny, and it isn’t shy' Artrocker","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51512797528352,"sku":"9781471148330","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781471148330.jpg?v=1780963259","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/unknown-pleasures-peter-hook-9781471148330","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
