Book Reviews of Whores: An Oral Biography of Perry Farrell and Jane's Addiction
Book Review: Not bad, but lacking
Summary: 3 Stars
"Whores" is the late Brendan Mullen's biography of JA and Perry Farrell as told by witnesses and guilty parties. I felt a little ripped off, some of this stuff came from magazine articles (one even verbatim from a Flipside interview), there's no attempt to even make a narrative. The good part is it's easy to read, the down side is that if you've read ANY press on JA you know a lot of this stuff. What I got out of it was some insight into "Jane Says" lyrics and that Dave Navarro really doesn't like the Rolling Stones. Oral histories are great when partnered with great pictures, but there's not really a lot of those either. I was expecting a lot more insight in this book but it's just not there.
