3.0 out of 5 stars Not a very in depth look into the life of one of the greatest front man in rocks history, November 19, 2005

By	Chloe - See all my reviews

I found this book to be just another biography of The Who. Yes there are references to Roger Daltrey, but there's nothing I learned a lot about him. The authors seem to go off and talk about their manager Kit Lambert or Pete Townshend more than they do of Roger. I was really disappointed with this book because the authors make it seem like Roger led a rather boring and dull life and spent most of his time in his mansion in the countryside of England and getting into fights. There really isn't much about his personal life either and the book just barely skims the surface of it. The authors also present the reader with the obvious things such of ten pages about the plot of the movies Roger was in. I'm a fairly new Who fan and I could even pick up of some mistakes the authors made. Overall, don't get this book. It's not at all a good biography of Roger and is more like a biography of The Who. However, it does contain some nice photos. When will a biography worthy enough of Roger Daltrey be written?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Who from a different perspective., September 8, 2008

By	C. Clarke (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought this was a very interesting book. Usually books about the Who focus on Townshend and everything is through his eyes. I felt like this was a different perspective. I didn't know about the death of his sister and the work he does for the Teenage Cancer Trust. I recommend it to Who fans!
