Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a big fan of the GNR. So I was of course attracted to this book simply because it was about Guns N Roses. I always try to stay objective so I didn't let my love of the band affect my opinion of the book.
The book was well written, I'll give Stephen Davis that. It takes you back to the days when hardcore Axl was little Bill Bailey. The story tells you how the members met, and how they all ended up in L.A. and their journey to stardom and how they became the biggest rock stars of their generation.
Stephen Davis is one of America's more prominent rock journalists, so he definitely didn't let me down. Although the book was a bit difficult to get into, it picked up. The book definitely explains some of the titles to some of GNR's hits. I can imagine that it would be a tremendous feat to try to fit the awesomeness of these rock God's into 420 pages...(ironic I know) but somehow Davis pulled it off. Definitely an educational/entertaining read. I recommend it to all GNR fans, as it gives you a more in-depth look into the rock Gods...all in all, worth the $20-something I spent on amazon.
