4.0 out of 5 stars The early days, April 10, 2007
A very readable biography of Bowie up to 1983. Hopkins' riveting study gets behind the many images that have concealed the elusive David Jones of Brixton, London. Drawing on interviews with family members, ex-lovers, friends and associates, he describes Bowie early struggle and eventual breakthrough, and his development as an artist: the albums, videos, films and tours. It is illustrated with rare black & white photographs and contains a discography, filmography and videography. The tone is informative throughout and much emphasis is placed on the music and Bowie's development as artist. Well-written, interesting without being gossipy, this book is thoroughly enjoyable and comprehensive as an early history of the artist and singer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Novel, July 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bowie (Hardcover)
The novel, Bowie, is a great insight into the life and times of David Bowie from his birth in 1947 to 1985. This book provides an in-depth analysis of Bowie's many personas (Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack, The Thin White Duke). I recommend this book to all brand new Bowie fanatics.
