David Bowie: A Life by Dylan JonesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The narrative style is a bit difficult to get used to, as it is told in snippets from all different people. Not sure if I like this style of writing at all, particularly in a book of this length.
Some of the stories are also redundant. Sometimes there were redundancies within the same story, which was even more annoying as it felt like something that should have been cleaned up in editing. Felt sloppy.
There are quite a few references to England-specific places, people, and shows that may be lost on people not from there.
There are a lot of interesting little tales here though. I didn't really know much about him before reading this so I'm not sure what is new news here and what is common knowledge. It's definitely not biased though.
