As a former card-carrying member of the John Taylor Fan Club (okay, not really, but we could've been) we took notice. In the book, we'll get to read all about his drug addiction (gasp!), depression (surely you jest!), and presumably, all the female fans he bedded in a drug and alcohol-frenzy (the hell you say!).
