BOOK REVIEWS
KARMA
BOY GEORGE
BLINK PUBLISHING
★★★★☆
When picking up someone’s third autobiography, it is often with a sense of ‘What can be said that we don’t already know?’, particularly when 1995’s Take It Like A Man is one of the definitive celebrity memoirs. George addresses this in the preface, explaining that maturity and wisdom offer a very different perspective on retrospection, and this becomes apparent almost immediately. Scores are undoubtedly settled, though it is himself that George is hardest on throughout, accepting responsibility and looking at things from the viewpoint of others, displaying a self-awareness he had previously lacked.
