Book Reviews of The Bowie Companion

Book Review: Interesting, but not essential
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a compilation of various articles about David Bowie, most of them previously published in music magazines and a few written especially for the book. What makes this book interesting is the inclusion of some historical pieces, such as the infamous "I'm gay" interview for Melody Maker in 1971. On the other hand, some essays are too pretentious and will only appeal to those who enjoy getting into the "intellectual" side of David's music. If you're planning to write a doctoral thesis on Bowie some day, this book is for you.
