3.0 out of 5 stars
Leaves much to be desired...,
By Houston Longino (KITTY_LITTER@msn.com) (Gulfport, MS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter Gabriel: In His Own Words (In Their Own Words) (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn more about one of my favorite musicians. Instead, this book simply provides random quote after quote. I didn't learn anything from this book that I didn't know before, it provided very little insight into the artist himself. It was also very short (only 95 pages). Hardly enough to describe anything in detail. One plus though, were the photos. Seeing pictures of Peter Gabriel in concert was a great quality of the book. If you want a light read about a great musician, then this is the book for you. If you really want to learn something about the artist himself, look elsewhere.

SO DISAPPOINTING!,

This review is from: Peter Gabriel: In His Own Words (In Their Own Words) (Paperback)
When I bought this book, I thought it would be more of an autobiographical type of book. I was so disappointed to find out that all it is, is a compilation of quotes from Peter Gabriel over the years.
Yes, there were a few interesting facts to be found in it, but nothing that would really, truly give anyone a feeling that they finished the book knowing any more about this brilliant artist than they probably already knew... it simply stated a topic.. and then followed with a few pages of various quotes on that subject by Gabriel. Not what I expected by any means. Not worth the money in my opinion. You could probably get more info through Google or any other site like that. Don't waste your money on this.

Peter Gabriel - the man himself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Gabriel: In His Own Words (In Their Own Words) (Paperback)
In this book, Peter Gabriel talks about everything from his childhood experiences, musical influences, the inspirations for his music and gives the meanings to his music and songs. An all-round excellent book for those interested in music, world music, and musical advances or even the man himself
