Reviews

One of the most authoritative Bowie books you're ever likely to read.

—— Mojo

As a critique-cum-re-establishment of the David Bowie character, "definitive" is pretty much it.

—— Guardian

A fascinating portrait of a fascinating artist ... if you like Bowie and you're into biographies, this is the one to read

—— Marc Almond

Buckley manages the ultimate achievement of any rock biog and sends you scuttling back to the records.

—— Guardian

A definitive re-establishment of the man and the myth of David Bowie.

—— Future Music

Goddard widens his previous book's mixture of detail and passionate celebration to Morrissey's entire aesthetic universe

—— Dave Hill , The Guardian
