Great Book,
I thought this book was really great. It is pretty easy to read,once you get past the introduction. The author really goes into the influences George has had throughout his life, and how they have influenced his music. He goes into George’s relationships, scandals, and home life to provide a rich account of George’s life. I would recommend this to any hard-core fan looking for more insight into one of the most controversial singers of our time.

|Great bio for an 80′s icon,
What a great bio! I am 39 and couldn’t believe when George announced his US tour in ’08. I got a ticket in April for his only Philadelphia show in July. It was a nostalgic blast from the past. George transformed the Wachovia center into a nightclub. We were up dancing more than we were sitting. He engaged us as though we were personal friends. This book takes us back to George’s childhood influences up to and including his latest tour. There are some wonderful full color photos that showcase his changing looks. I also have the prior bios “Bare” and “Older”. This completes my collection. I highly recommend this edition as well as the DVD companion “A Different Story” It was sold at his concerts and is hard to find. There are excerpts however on Youtube. Enjoy reading about a true musical genius.
