<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>What do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart? </b> The second volume of Moby's extraordinary life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle. In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, <b>PLAY </b>was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models (infrequently). It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell apart. The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme, and unforgiving. It is unedifying, but you can never tear your eyes away from the page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A celebrity-filled chronicle of the debauchery and desperation that led to [Moby's sobriety.]"<br> <b>―New York Post</b> <p/> "A wildly entertaining journey through the life of a musician whose unassuming exterior belies a wildness to rival any rock 'n roll memoir you've ever read."<br> <b>―LA Daily News</b> <p/> "Just three years after his first memoir, Porcelain, Moby is back with an even more revealing book, tracing his dark journey through fame. Tales about David Bowie, Madonna and ex-flames Natalie Portman and Christina Ricci abound."<br> <b>―Entertainment Weekly</b> <p/> " Moby is most unsparing with himself. He has no axes to grind, but he's brutal when characterizing his narcissistic-rocker phase.... His wit is sharp but light, and the memoir isn't stuffed with references to obscure things no one's ever heard of."<br> <b>―SFWeekly</b> <p/> "Filled with fascinating characters and memorable meetings with celebrities and politicians."<b> <b>― Library Journal</b> <p/> "This well-written memoir of a man's search for contentment astutely reveals the sharp rises and the steep descents of fame."<br> <b>―Publishers Weekly</b> <p/> "Can't put it down. Honest, heartbreaking and really funny."<br> <b>― Adam McKay, co-writer of Anchorman, Talledega Nights and founder of the website Funny or Die</b> <p/> "A must-read."<br> <b>―Kirkus Reviews</b> <p/> "Moby's writing shines brightest in descriptions of the music he loves. A salacious cautionary tale as well as a nostalgic trip through a memorable time in music."<br> <b>―Booklist</b> <p/> "[THEN IT FELL APART includes] stories that are humorous, heartfelt, heartbreaking, and above all else, revealing.... The level of honesty Moby poured into each page fills the book with memorable moments from cover to cover."<br> <b>―Consequence of Sound</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Moby</b> was born in Harlem in 1965.
