Book Reviews of I Need More
Book Review: Great photos, could benefit from added commentary
Summary: 4 Stars
Four stars just because I love him so much! This book has great photos which really help capture Mr. Pop's persona. This work does seem to have been culled from transcriptions of taped interviews/musings. Anecdotes and oral history are one of the best ways to relate how the culture and times influenced the music. However, this work could benefit from commentary from other performers, aquaintances, journalists, and so on. Mr. Pop's perspective is unique and certainly worth reading. One gets the feeling there is a lot more background information and detail that could have been presented in a more comprehensive work.Book Review: I need more, too
Summary: 4 Stars
Iggy is the man.. plain and simple. No one will ever be like him. We all know about his crazy stage antics, so I won't get into that.This autobiography is great. It tells about his life in Detroit, some of his crazy stories, including when he lost his virginity (which is hilarious). He also talks about shows with the Stooges, which is very entertaining. However, the book is short, and Iggy has a unique way of writing. It may take some getting used to, but I recommend this book to any lover of Iggy Pop, the Stooges, or just a good book.
Book Review: Iggy in his own words!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got a lotta love, respect, and admiration for a man who keeps rockin' well into his 50's!!! Thank god some people never grow up! Here is the man who fronted the Stooges, pretty much the inspiration for the NY Dolls, the Dead Boys, and much of the punk movement which started during the mid 1970's. Unfortunately the music industry didn't know what to do with the Stooges in 1969, when they released their first album. If you're a Stooges fan, of course you already know that. Iggy is the godfather of punk. If you haven't already read this book, GET IT NOW. It's a must have for any Stooges/Iggy fan. Iggy starts with his life in the trailor park, becoming a crazy rock'n'roller, gigging with the MC5, working with Bowie. Hey, I didn't know Iggy had Nico living with him! The best thing about this book is it's Iggy in his own words. He's a funny guy! His life with and without the Stooges is definitely entertaining, to say the least! Great read!Book Review: Less is not More

If you want a transcript of an interesting cat talking into a tape recorder for a few hours, check this out. Practically no information of interest or entertainment to be had here. Just an extension of style far, far better served by listening to the great music he's produced over the years. Stick to that unless you want a graphically puffed up magazine article, as presented in this "book".Book Review: No better insight than from Iggy himself!
Summary: 5 Stars
This autobiography is just amazing! Everything about it makes me want to read it over and over! From Iggy being arrested for murder, to his imaginary friend during his childhood. This book does not only capture the true meaning of Iggy's music, it reveals what Iggy is all about. Behind the pencil stabbings, the swearing, and the shirtless "idiot" from Detroit, is a simple man that believes the American Music Industry needs a Union. (Not surprised by this, he came from the capitol of UAW.) Most of the pictures take you into his childhood, his music, and his concerts. (The nude picture is the only picture I can't stand.) Many artists are considered to have "sold out" when they write autobiographies, all Iggy Pop had to do was find his diary.
