Book Reviews of I'm a Believer, Updated Edition: My Life of Monkees, Music, and Madness

Book Review: Fun, Insightful and Entertaining read from Dolenz
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a tell-all tale or a date by date history, it is a quick re-telling of a performer's life with some fun dramatizations and stories.

All of the classic one-liners and side-comment humor you've come to expect from Mickey Dolenz is present on the page in this autobiography. There a lot of great stories involving The Monkees and other major pop stars of the 60's, but nothing is covered in incredible (or credible for that matter) depth. Dolenz doesn't claim to know all the facts, just that he is telling the story from his point of view, but it is very tongue in cheek re-telling, not a lot of emotions are presented.

This is a light read, but Dolenz tells us that is the point and that we should go out and do something meaningful after being entertained by his book. I was entertained, mission accomplished.

The "Updated" portion of the book is really just a quick synopsis of Mickey and the Monkees' careers after the original published date of the book as recounted by the co-author, so don't expect any insight into the "Justus" reunion from Dolenz.

I say buy it for a quick read at the beach or a rainy day.
