I've not actually read this one yet but it sounds great. I saw the film and what a cinematic gem! The language is just fascinating; the whole concept is simply mind-boggling. Obviously David drew a lot from this film in the Ziggy period, going so far as to play Beethoven's Ninth at the beginning of his concerts. Read just what the master draws his inspirations from!

It's a quick read but it's all very fascinating. It sheds some light on Angie's relationship with David and their times together (including the exorcism of the pool and some other infamous moments). I read it so fast I don't have a lot to say about it but I do recommend it for a Bowie fan, especially one with a shorter attention span.

A great biography. Features many excerpts from interviews, and comments from friends and business contacts. There are a few gaps, most of them on the subject of Bowie's drug abuse. (Nothing about heroin, nothing about how and when he kicked his habits, but still plenty of detail, especially about the era 74-76.) The drawback is that the book was published 1975, meaning there's little about the public response to "Tonight", and of course nothing about the past twenty years. And there might be some controversy on subjects like Stevie Ray Vaughan. But for those interested in Bowie's pre-breakthrough era and his 70ies, a real winner.

Henry Edwards and Z tell you everything you ever wanted to know about David. Well, maybe not everything but quite a bit. It takes you through the various stages in Bowie's life and career up to a certain point. I learned a lot by reading this book and I think any Bowie fan could. It's always great just for reference too.

The book is as great as the film but you'll be lucky to get your hands on one. my copy was 26.00
