5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book, September 26, 2005

By	J. Cooper - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an awesome book 104 pages of all Green Day. Being a huge Green Day fan I thouroughly enjoyed this book and didn't put it down until I finished. It's basically all about their lives and a biography of the band. It includes discography, tons of funny and awesome pictures from many concerts, award shows and just photo shoots. In the middle it has a whole section of coloured picturtes. Basically if you love Green Day you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great biography!, June 7, 2005

A Kid's Review

This is a great biography (as I have said in the title). It includes interviews from various magazines and newspapers and tells a lot of info about the crazy and insane stuff the members have done. It also tells about the members with mini (i guess you could say mini)biographies. Almost each page has a picture of the band and in the middle of the book there is a collage of color pictures of the band. The author even sometimes gives his veiws in a comedic way. It all fits well together. Most of The chapter titles are little spoofs of the song titles from previous albums, which I thought was creative when I first looked in the book. This is a must buy for a fan (if you ask me). Hey, and for those fans who have short attention spans it's a pretty short book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't ya just love Green Day!, August 7, 2005

By	Barb (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This was a good book detailing how Green Day came to be. I especially loved all of the pictures. I would recommend this book for any fan, but if I could only buy one, I have to say that I think that Green Day American Idiots & The New Punk Explosion by Ben Myers is better.
