Negative Positive
Title: Book not worthy of Subject
Review: I admit it, I'm a huge Beck fan. So I was disappointed in this effort. The book relies on all the old magazine articles and websites as its sources. It would have been more effective, and interesting, had the author interviewed Beck himself, his family, band-mates, and music critics. For those who are interested in Beck's multi-talents, check out the book "Playing with Matches." Though not a book directly about Beck's music, it does give an interesting back ground on his artistic influences, namely his grandfather Al Hansen. One final note, while I feel that the writing was vague and magazinish, the photographs were excellent.
