Worth finding,
This review is from: Sinead O'Connor: So Different (Paperback)
There are very few books on Sinead O'Connor out there. I've managed to find two of them. I've got the one by Jimmy Gutterman, "Sinead: Her Life and Music". I can assure you "Sinead O'Connor: So Different" by Dermott Hayes is by far the better book! Dermott Hayes relies on published articles and interviews (as does Gutterman), but Hayes also does his homework, interviewing plenty of people (family, friends, neighbors, ex-band mates) who knew Sinead before she became famous. This is what makes it so interesting and superior. Also, there are many rare photos in the book. Photos of Sinead's childhood home, her birth certificate, her student ID card, her father, brother, and Sinead at age 8. The book gets into Sinead's troubled childhood, her mother's abuse, Sinead's schooling and stay at the home for wayward girls, her first band, first record contract, first taste of fame. People who knew Sinead are quoted throughout. There's a lengthy discography. Keep in mind this book was published in 1990, so it only goes up to her "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" release. I don't believe anyone has bothered to write a book on Sinead O'Connor since the early '90's, so this is what her true fans should look for. If you bother to search for any out-of-print Sinead O'Connor book, this is your best bet. It's worth it for all the information and rare photos.
