Meet the man behind Tubular BellsBy Rick MooreIm halfway through the book and I agree with others here that its a book that is more about his life experiences than it is about his music. Ive followed Mikes great music since the advent of Tubular Bells in 74 and Ive always wondered what he must be like. Now I know. Thats why I like the book. Mike is very candid and seems very humble. The book is a bit scattered and unorganized but who cares...such is life. To me; reading the book seems to recreate what it must be to just sit around a coffee table and listen as Mike just chit-chats about whatever crosses his mind at the moment. Its intimate like that. I feel drawn to him as I read it because our childhoods were apparently very similar. There are some glimpses into his music. And I am enjoying reading about what musicians influenced him. I like learning his likes and dislikes. So; I think the book delivers - but what it delivers is a little unexpected. I feel that any Mike Oldfield fan will find the book enjoyable so I recommend it.UPDATE: I have completed the book and I like it even more now than I did when I started this review. As I progressed through the rest of the book there was more shared about his composing than I originally thought there might be from having read the first few chapters - so that delighted me. There wasnt the depth in his discussions about his music that I had hoped for - but there was enough to make me happy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
