I enjoyed reading this book when it came out back in the 90s. Its a good rockumentary about Brian Jones, the pioneer of the Rolling Stones and how he lived his life in the spotlight and decandece of the 60s.

It also informs the reader that Brian was murdered instead of the known fact that it was a drug overdose/drowning.

Being a Stones fan I bought this as soon as it came out. It's a good read but it loses some stars because it's just kind of conjecture as to how exactly Brian drowned and who knows if the anonymous guy interviewed in the book was really there and really saw what happened. His death definitely could've happened the way he described it but ultimately who knows?

The inside story of Brian Jones. I loved this book and have read it numerous times over the years.

Good read if you were there at the time. Interestingly the person that the finger pointed at in this book admitted to the murder on his death bed, allegedly.
