Schooldays, family friends, drinking habits, drug habits, courtship, marriage, domestic arrangements, home decor, musical beginnings, epilepsy, jealousy, burgeoning success, marital breakdown, depression and a shocking conclusion: Everything is here. By the end of it you'll think Ian is your long lost school friend. You'll feel his pain and the pain felt by those closest to him. Highly recommended.

For an alternative perspective, read Torn Apart by Lindsay Reade and Mick Middles.
