The Libertines Bound Together, a Top Ten Bestseller! 12 March 2006 Sunday Times Non Fiction Bestsellers list number 8.
Reviews of The Libertines Bound Together:
'An intelligent and pacy exploration of a musical phenomenon' The Independent
'Emotion, insight and sheer beatific quality ... [Sargent's photos] stand as a fine testament ... Thornton's accompanying text is equally enrapturing' Mojo ****
'Bound Together reads like a great thriller, yet has moments - like an exceptional passage on an impromptu Doherty gig in Chelsea that helped split the band - that evoke the poetry, courage and optimism that surrounded Doherty at his best.' Q**** Recommended
'The story of the band and the fallout from their split is recorded in intimate detail. Thornton and Sargent, with full access to the battling frontmen, had a unique insight into their complex relationship' Uncut
'A nicely produced book...Thornton's intention is to give a good, respectful account of the artistic project of Barat and Doherty, and in this the book is a success' Independent On Sunday
'Writer Thornton and photographer Sargent really were on the spot (be it the van, the pub, the East End squat or the dressing room) while most of the squalid Libertines saga went down, capturing the queasy zigzags of the band’s career.' Sunday Times
