Reference: A review of the book:

Reference information:
"... It's quite a long book with 443 pages and Bob often rambles, I think. Also, as the title of this review suggests, it's full of sexual encounters and swearing. There's also a bit of Irish stereotyping and many rants against Catholicism. Do not read if easily offended!

The book ends where it began, just after "Live Aid". Bob doesn't discuss what happens after that. The title of the book "Is That It?" refers to a kid in Philadelphia who asked that very question at the end of the US Live Aid concert...."
