Trade ReviewHumphries has a lively feel for Drake’s social context … This book works as a sad fable of an unusual casualty of the 1960s counter culture * SUNDAY TIMES *
A riveting account of the golden-boy genius * EVENING STANDARD *
An exquisite portrait … It’s less about the human condition than about the sensitive adolescent’s coming-of-age. But it’s none the less moving for that. A short, sweet and sad story * MOJO *
Patrick Humphries has written a rich, moving account of a troubled spirit, a mature biography of a briefly flickering talent unable to come to terms with the adult world … The writing is zestful and intelligent and the text illuminating … A literary memorial fit to stand alongside the songs * UNCUT *
