I really liked this bookBy CustomerI really liked this book. Im a big Mellecamp fan and found this book contained a lot of details. including mention/details of the various band members over the years. If youre looking for some chronology. as well as some interesting stories. this book is a good one.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Poorly written and researched.By carmel_momThis biography seems to be little more than a compilation of public information and irrelevant material. The book does not discuss any of the inspiration or meanings behind Johns songs. the controversy over videos such as "Cherry Bomb". and even contains date errors in a span of just 20 pages. I ordered this book for my daughter to use for a school project and was sorely disappointed in the lack of information. I would never buy another biography by this author.
