Summary

It’s not every day you come across an autobiography which starts out with learning how to overcome sexual abuse as a child, how to become an international playboy who built the most famous boutique hotel in the world, where people like Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Julio Iglesias to name a few, called a home away from home, add in the odd shipwreck or two and more than a few thousand sexual partners and misdemeanors along the way, and when your finished, you'll agree that this book is not just another great listen but its perhaps the greatest story every told.

Reasonably Entertaining

Decent story although was expecting it to be a bit more fast paced and drug fuelled.

Debauchery Central!

Had never heard of Tony Pike until he died, but what I discovered thereafter fascinated me, so I bought the audiobook. An interesting story about a rollercoaster of a life, with much debauchery and scandal along the way. I really wish I'd stayed at Pikes in the 80s!

Very entertaining

A hugely entertaining book! Whether every story in it is 100% accurate is not important to me, it’s very funny in places too, some great lines.
There’s an interesting interview with the author on the pikes podcast.

Superb. Thoroughly entertaining

I never normally review books but this was utterly brilliant. The narration is spot on and really captures the sentiments in the stories. There are several chapters in this book where I defy you not to laugh out loud as I did one evening. Heartily. At the same time some of the chapters are more thoughtful but always engaging. I took a risk on this book and you know what? If you were around in the eighties and you have been to Ibiza then you’ll love love love this book. Enjoy!

5 star 👌

great listen, such a fascinating life and lifestyle, brought me on an emotional ride. makes me wanna go back to ibiza and experience pikes no matter the cost. even tho it may not bee the same, I'd like to imagine what it was like back in the 70's 80's 90's when it was thriving. so glad I have downloaded audible as its perfect for them long drives 👍

Loved it. An example of how life should be lived.

When I say how life should be lived I mean lived the way you want. Doesn't have to be a hedonistic sex fueled rampage through life just however you want to live it. As quoted by Mr Pike himself "too many people live a mundane life stuck in a rut". Certainly made me think about my own life which makes it a great read especially when coming into my forties and thinking my best years are behind me. Tony definitely proves that you can keep going with any lifestyle you like well into twice my age and proves that anything is possible if you work for it.
