1.0 out of 5 stars
A more tabloid, re-hash version of the Tom Jones story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tom Jones: A Biography (Hardcover)
This biography on Tom Jones seems to be an update on the previous and rather excellent biography by Colin Macfarlane - Tom Jones:The Boy From Nowhere, which was published in 1988. After reading Macfarlane's book one gets the idea that both authors of this book have updated Macfarlane's version and added in some rather obscure tabloid type anecdotes. The result is a bit disappointing but it still tells a clear cut story of the man. Start off with Macfarlane's biography then move on to this one to get the fuller picture. Tom himself has said he prefers Macfarlane's version as the author mixed with members of Tom's family in his home village of Treforest in South Wales to get to the real heart of the story.

Easy to Skip,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tom Jones: A Biography (Hardcover)
This book is, indeed a rehash of previously written materials, with a healthy dash of misquotes and sensationalistic antecdotes. Don't bother.
