Reviews

[Vicki Warby · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m sorry but I can’t possibly give this book anything higher than a 2 because it is so full or typos, mistakes and inaccuracies. The style of writing is also in places too cringeworthy, it’s embarrassing. Which is a shame because the story and detail is so interesting, and to read this given it was released in 1994, makes it fascinating to read how things felt at the time when I was too young to experience it myself and knowing what we know now about how things have turned out 30 years later. I’ve had this book in my collection for 25 years. I’m actually glad I only just got round to reading it.

I loved how the Story of mother love bone was told aswell. A lot of information well written i can't complain.

Never did want to read this but just happened to come across it for a buck so I did. While there might have been a couple of things I thought interesting I found it riddled with mistakes & untruths, negativity & bias. In my opinion it was a quickly written book to profit from the fame of one of the greatest bands of all time, then & now. I think I paid 99 cents too much

I liked it only because it was about my beloved band. However, the facts are not all there and some are wrong.
