Nick Tosches in collaboration with Daryl Hall & John Oates keeps the beat going all the way through this well-written semi-autobiography of Daryl Hall & John Oates from their beginnings to 1984.

The book itself is a good, easy read, featuring lots of color photos and drawings by Daryl that hasn't had too many cartoonists looking over their shoulders.

This item is currently out-of-print, but it would do well for the author to update "Dangerous Dances" since a lot has happened since 1984 and Daryl & John have had a renaissance of sorts with the success of their "Do It For Love" album which has already scored a number one A/C song and the duo has also had a recent (February, 2003) Billboard Magazine issue done as a tribute to their 30+ years as artists.

There are few books that I read more than once. This will be well received and a most for all Daryl and John fans. It is the struggle that we all watched them go through to achieve stardom. I have actually purchased a second book and have one autographed. It is a hot item!

I had purchased this book originally in 1984. It wasn't easy to get back then either!

I have read this cover to cover, repeatedly, and just can't get enough!

And I agree with one of the other reviewers saying that a lot has happened since 1984! Maybe another book is called for!
