Title: Stick to Philip Norman
Product review: Replaces Crimp and Burstein as the worst book on Sir Elton in recent memory. More a prose version of the Billboard charts than anything else (and valuable in that sense), His Song is filled with inconsistencies (see the author's interpretation of "Chloe," in which she contradicts herself within three sentences), lightweight interpretations and self-styled musical categorizations. It does, though, contain some nice photos of Elton, including, of course, one posed with the author. All in all, this well-marketed and handsomely covered volume does not compare to Philip Norman's Elton John (also published with revisions as "Sir Elton").
