    A Unique Artist Compensates for a Flawed Biography
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019*

In high school, I thought David Bowie's "China Girl" was one of the greatest songs of all time. For the next three decades I went no further than his "greatest hits." But over the past few years, as I have dug deeper, I wanted to learn more about this enigmatic artist.The singular talents and charisma of David Robert Jones more than compensate for the significant flaws in "David Bowie: A Life" by Dylan Jones. I spent the first 100 pages thinking that an "oral history biography" was a disjointed and redundant biography by a lazy writer. I was also shocked that a biography of such a visually-oriented artist does not contain a single picture. This book also does not try to capture all of the essential facts of his career, so "The Complete David Bowie" remains essential. Finally, I found Dylan Jones' jaded British cultural gatekeeper pose a bit annoying at times (such as referring to Bowie as "Mockney Jones").YET, once you can keep the 180 "Dramatis Personae" straight, the interviews just get better and better. From his early childhood friends to the director for Bowie's final video, this book contains deeply insightful interviews with almost all of the key people in his life. The one exception is his personal assistant of nearly four decades, Coco Schwab. Something tells me she will take her stories to the grave. It is difficult to say whether Bowie did more line of coke or women (the most troubling interview is with a then 15-year-old groupie that he deflowered, AKA statutory rape). He also had a penchant to turn his back on friends he no longer found useful. YET, I still came away from this book wishing that I had had the chance to meet him or at least see him in concert.

    His Life by Those Who Knew Him
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2018*

After reading two other Bowie biographies, I wanted to know more personal details about David so I ordered this book..  Its many glimpses into David's life, written by those who knew him, define the icon.  As the biography follows his life and career year-by-year, readers come away with a better sense of who he was -- polite, intelligent, passionate, intellectual, kind to others, wild like the wind he sang about, driven by the need for fame, haunted by shadows, as thirsty as a sponge to learn about everything around him, blessed with a great sense of humor, a serious painter and collector, an avid reader who treasured his books -- a multi-faceted entertainer who transformed himself, his art, and his music again and again.  Bowie could be introspective and chatty, sexy and confident, then silly in a lovable way.  Complex, influential -- he was definitely one of a kind.

    Should have more on the music
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020*

Being a long time subscriber of Tape Op magazine I definitely would have liked to have read more about the recording, production, and, most of all, the songs themselves. Actually, that's a minor complaint of this very rich, thorough book. I rarely read biographies of any kind: I don't find people's lives all that interesting. But I do find discussions of creativity and the creative process interesting (which why I'd like to have read more about the recording). I definitely connect with Bowie's creative restlessness, how he would always be trying new ways of looking at things. I also connect with a fellow autodidact.…Then, of course, unlike with most celebrities, there's the cultural impact. His stardom means nothing to me, but as with The Beatles and a few others he was a focus for cultural change.I also appreciate how Jones left in all the conflicting points of view rather trying to smooth out the narrative into another attempted definitive biography.
