Seemed to separate fact from myth well which is a tall order with a genius of Reeds magnitude. Paid a good amount of attention to works which Ive felt havent received their fair amount of attention...Songs For Drella. Blue Mask and Ectasty in particular.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good biography. but some parts overwrittenBy Peter J. OrvettiThis is a fine and inclusive look at Reeds life and his music and poetry. and if you are seeking a definitive biography. this comes pretty close. However. much of Levys writing is overwrought and crosses into pretension -- the introduction is nearly unreadable and I came close to giving up on the book. Read this for the solid research and great detail. skim over the authors heavy-handed attempts at analysis.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
