This is the best Blink 182 book ever! It is all made up of color pages and there are pictures of the guys on every other side. There is also 100% true info on how they started as a group and even some info on Scott, the former drummer. There are early pictures of Travis (before he got all the tattoos) and Mark and Tom as well (when Tom had eyebrow and nose piercings). Most pictures include Travis. There is only one of the group with Scott. There are also early pictures of Mark (when he had really short hair and when he dyed it pink). Anyway, this book is definitely worth it. There are 48 pages, half written and half picture. On the last page though, there is a good discography of the group. If you are a Blink fan (I mean really a fan, like own all of their cds or at least intend to), buy this book.

I bought this book a few months ago, and i really like it. It has a lot of good info on the band, but the best part of the book is definately the pictures. About every 2 or 3 pages there is a fullsize photograph. This book also includes a full list of discography, including soundtracks and compilation albums the boys have been on. If you're a blink fan, i definately suggest buying this book.

It seems you have to be a really good blink 182 fan to appreciate this book. I luved it! It gives you great info on the band w/ lots of great pics. It has a lot of magazine quotes but so what! That just makes it easier so you don't have to go find them urself. Give the guy a break. He had a lot of time and effort so he made a book on one of the most popular bands out there. He's probably making sum money off of it too. Who cares if he got some stuff out of the video. That just gives people an idea of what to expect. If u need info on Blink 182, or are just a really big fan, i suggest u get this book. The video is just for laughs and ur enjoyment. The book gives u a great idea of the potty mouth punk phenomenons these guys really are!

If you are a Blink fan, you should buy this book. It is really well written and is full of lots of information. The pictures are great, too! I have read this book three times - it is cool.

Since I looove Blink182 I really enjoyed this book. It tells lots of interesting stuff about them and their music.Being the Blink 182 fan that I am I collect anything of theirs that I can such as this book. I would reccommend this book to anyone who likes punk or alternative music. Even if you're not a Blink 182 fan you'll really like this book.

I recently bought this book and though it was alright. I didn't need it but wanted it because it was Blink 182. On June 21 in Oakland, CA at The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show, I met Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 and showed him this book. "This book is so faulty." is what Mark said about it. He looked at every page and then signed it. All I have to say is that it's not okay to try and make money by writing a book off a band you think you know with faulty info! Don't be surprised if this book is no longer available!

The book is awesome! Everyone should have this book. Oh yeah, Tom Delonge is the guitarist, Mark Hoppus is the bassist and Travis is the drums. Somebody wrote that Tom was the bassist and Mark was the guitarist. Other than that, the book rules!!

Okay now that Austin Gibbons guy who wrote a revew was wrong! he said that Tom was the bass guy, mark was the guitarest!!! come on! if he was a real fan he would know it was the other way a-round. But it's okay, i guess he tryed his best. Now to the book. The book wasn't that great, i meen some of it was taken from BLINK 182's video they made. If you were me i'de only get this book if you wanted to get all the BLINK 182 stuff there is. Well this is Tom saying so long and good bye...

The writer (Simon Moore) obviously watch the Urethra Chronicles first, that is a movie that Blink 182 made about their lives. When he (the writer) talks about Travis Barker (the drummer) and his drum set, it is word for word copied from the tape. But all in all it was interesting. When I went looking for a book I hoped for an autobiography, NO, I guess that Blink thought that the home video is enough. It had some interesting information about the band, right or wrong, I think he might have got some information from unreliable sources or people's opinions and thoughts. I would suggest that you buy it if you have the extra 10 dollars and are a real Blink 182 fan, but it would be better if they (the band) had wrote it themselves. If Mark Hoppis (guitar), Tom Delong (bass), and Travis Barker (drums) were to write an autobiography I would probably pay three times as much, as long as it was authentic and in their words. So, if you are a Blink 182 fan and want to know more about the band then I suggest you buy The Urethra Chronicles. If you don't want to get The Urethra Chronicles then this book would be an idea, Mark, Tom, and Travis could have wrote it better though. If I had to rate it then I would give it a four out of ten because the writer just didn't capture my attention even though Blink 182 are my favorite band.

P.S. I copied an other review and added to it for this one
