I enjoyed this book as a whole, but alot of things were mis-spelled, and I found flaws in some of the facts. I think this author needed to study up and get his facts straight before publishing this book. The best part was the few color photos contained of the band.

I liked this book overall, but it was just "ok" after reading Stephen Davis' book on Aerosmith. That book has a lot more info. Some people are actually interested in the childhood of Steven Tyler, more background info, ect. This book brags about not having it.

I read "Aerosmith: The Rise and Fall of Rock's Greatest Band" It was fabulous. Not only does it help me understand the band and what they went through, but it also helped me learn so much about them. The chapters went in perfect order, and the book actually made me want to read more about Aerosmith. The book was awsome, and very educational. I give it a great reveiw and hope more people read it. ^A^ rocks!

THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT HOW 5 YOUNG MUSICIANS DESRIRED TO BECOME STARS CAME TO LIFE. IT STARTS OUT TALKING ABOUT STEVEN TALLARICO (TYLER'S REAL LAST NAME) AND HIS CHILDHOOD AND HOW HE MET JOE PERRY. ABOUT ALL THE TURMOIL THE BAND HAD IN THE LATE 70S WITH DRUGS (ESPECIALLY JOE AND STEVE). HOW THEY REFORMED IN 1984 FOR THE BACK IN THE SADDLE TOUR AND RE-JOINED FOREVER.

If you liked Aerosmith from day one, you'll like this book. Book tells more than one would like to admitt. But the older fans have been there and back with the "Bad boys form Boston". It's "Amazing" they're still here! Keep on rockin'.

If you're only mildly interested in Aerosmith, this book makes a nice place to start. A fairly breezy and quick read through the band's turbulent history. If you read this and decide you want more, "Walk This Way" might be the next step for you.

This book is basically composed of 2nd hand info. Should be made obsolete upon publication of Stephen Davis's tome.

For an intro to Aerosmith, this is a good book, although the author tells the story with magazine interviews and redundancy. Most people probably already know this info, and he tells it with little creativity. I liked the pictures, though. If you're a hardcore fan and want to get down to the real nitty-gritty, read Walk This Way - it is AWESOME!!

This book was interesting for the Aerosmith Novice But Hard-core fans already know the info published in this book!! Aerosmith is one of the wealthiest bands in the world We would like to hear what the spend it on Jets,Cars,Houses Etc.... Because they dont give much to charity

I love Lewis, and I think his works rock! But I have to tell you that this new version by Huxley (author of Brave New World) hits closer to home, and IMHO is a more authentic translation. I wouldn't junk your Lewis copy. Compare em and see the differences.
