Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters


This book was really disturbing and has stayed with me for months after I finished reading it. For such a little book (less than 200 pages), it took me a long time to read it - mainly because I could only cope with reading a little bit at a time. This is the first biography I have ever read that I enjoyed. Alexander and Stuart were proper friends, which means that Alexander doesn't hold back when talking about how much of an asshole Stuart could be, and also how great he was. Stuart's story broke my heart and while I can't wholeheartedly recommend that you read this (you would definitely need to be in the full of your health), I would say that if you do, it will haunt you.
