Amiable Biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Good overall bio, written with obvious fan's love for Richards. A good addition to the stable of bios out there.
GOOD READ FOR KEITHS LATER YEARS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
THERE ARE PLENTY OF GOOD BOOKS ON THE STONES EARLY YEARS. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER BOOKS FOR THE 90S AND FORWARD. VERY READABLE.
Years of exclusive interviews
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Interviews with rock musician Keith Richards himself rounds out a fine biography of the man in the unusual KEITH RICHARDS: BEFORE THEY MAKE ME RUN. Needs first met Richards at a drug trial in 1977 so has years of exclusive interviews to draw upon in his survey of a changing, eventful life. These interviews contribute vastly to an upbeat coverage which traces Keith's love of music: the core of his being.
Keef Madness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The best book on Keith. It captures the soul of the man. As for the facts review. I don't agree. For example this is the only source that gives the name of the jewler that made The Famous RING, but also the circumstances round the gift. Great book! A must read if you are a Stones fan.
strangely inspiring
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A fascinating look at what makes Kieth Richards tick. Needs is very knowledgable about his subject, but what really made this book compelling was the insight into Kieth's personality and the contrast between his very real bad boy image and his creativity and compassion. The author makes no bones about being a charter member of the "Keef" fan club but after reading this book I'm inclined to join him.
