About this product

Product Information

In this candid autobiography, Cherie Currie-the original lead singer of '70s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways-powerfully recounts her years in the band, her friendship with guitarist Joan Jett, and her struggle with drugs. An intense, behind-the-scenes look at rock music in the gritty, post-glam era, Neon Angel is a must-read for anyone whose heart beats to the rhythm of David Bowie, Suzi Quatro, Nick Gilder, and the Sex Pistols, and for every fan of the movie it inspired: The Runaways, starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as Cherie Currie and Joan Jett.

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.

  • Book is a rewrite

    The author of the book was not Cherie Currie, it was Tony O’Neill. Tony has written 27 books. I only saw one typo in the entire 362 pages. It is well written. I have repeatedly been denied my full review to be published here. Sorry.

  • If you're a Runaways fan,this is a must read!!!

    This is the second copy of this book I have purchased,this one is a thank you gift for my doctor,I bought the first one because I've always been a Runaways fan,and I read it purely for entertainment,I thought if you look and sing like Cherie Currie,how tough could your life be? I was surprised to find out She went through HELL! and to me the powerful message in this book of how to cope with setbacks,big and small is worth the price alone,a truly great story ia a bonus,I couldn't put it down!!

  • Cherry Bomb Forever

    I grew up in the 70s worshipping THE RUNAWAYS. NEON ANGEL gave me insight into the good times, hard times, growing up and surviving being the amazing Cherie Currie. My admiration for her will never die. Have read it 3 times and bought 7 copies for friends. 🤘👍👍
