DESCRIPTION:
Hook does so memorably.' * Guardian * . `Substance chronicling the original four-piece's history is as mammoth and downright idiotic as the band deserves something hilariously daft happens on nearly all of Substance's 750 pages' * Classic Pop * `You don't have to be an ardent fan of Manchester music to enjoy this doorstopper engrossing' * Cheshire Life * `A rollicking read' * Record Collector * `Epic rock tale of sex, drugs and jealousy A must for fans, it's wildly funny and revelatory' * The Sun * `Set against a lurid backdrop of orgiastic tours, awash with drink, drugs, and a debauched retinue of dealers, hookers and mad roadies, Hook drawing from a seemingly bottomless well of outrageous anecdotes,

Substance is packed with never-before-seen detail, discographies and technical information. `There are stories here that make Ozzy Osbourne looks like Mother Teresa' Sunday Express `A rollicking read' Record Collector `Rock writing rarely tells us properly what a band treading water or in slow decline feels like from the inside. Two acclaimed albums and an upcoming US tour - Joy Division had the world at their feet. This is possibly the most entertaining memoir ever written by a British musician. That band was New Order - their label was Factory Records, their club The Hacienda. `This book will delight both New Order-ites and general rock readers' MojoA ROLLI

The Final Word on the Story of New Order? Peter Hook's third book is the most violent, honest and hilarious autobiography of a musician I've ever read. Without much a do, he dives straight into sex, drugs and rock and roll, never mind the cliche. An eye-opener for many people, including those who have followed the band for years (like me). For one thing, I didn't realize the scale of alcohol and substance abuse in the New Order camp throughout their career, up to the 2000s. I mean, the entire Power,. A Tale Well Told Peter Hook speaks with an honest authority and passion about his time in New Order. As he has done with his other two books, has has pulled back the curtain on the bands "anti-pop/anti-style" approach to show how human they could be. I think Hook lays out his case against New Order and Bernard Sumner well, with some justifiable bitterness, however, he is incredibly kind and a bit reverent toward the all rest of the band, as if he seems to recognize the band
