"Todo el mundo era accesible, él era inalcanzable"

David Bowie fue, y seguirá siendo, el camaleón del rock n 'roll. Es la prueba que no importa si usted no es, naturalmente, el mejor, si trabajas lo suficientemente duro puedes convirtirte en el mejor, ser más que un ídolo ... Ser una Leyenda.

"Los buenos artistas copian, los genios roban."

Él hizo todo lo que necesitaba hacer para se convirtirse en una estrella ¿era cruel? Probablemente, pero nadie se sintió herido o botado. ¿Fue difícil? Mucho, lucho mucho tiempo para estar donde deseaba. Fue un artista, pero sobre todo fue un fan: é se creó a sí mismo a partir de la segunda para ser lograr ser el primero.

Soy un gran fan de Bowie, he estado enamorada de él desde que escuche "Space Oddity" hace 14 años, pero nunca leí una biografía grande de él, sólo pequeños artículos en revistas o enciclopedias. Pero desde ese momento vi que no era la estrella más concida, pero probablemente era una de las más influyentes.

Este libro nos muestra cómo creo un mundo completamente diferente para explotar su talento, incluso cuando muchas personas no creían en él, él seguía haciéndolo y, cuando la fe había terminado, reinventó su música, su persona y sis colaboradores. Este aspecto fue el que le dio la fama de ser frío y despiadado, pero no era exactamente así, Tryna hacer un trabajo impresionante en investigar y presentar la naturaleza íntima Bowie y el Perfil profesional. Incluso cuando fue la misma persona la ideología, la actitud y las obsesiones eran diferentes, pero nunca estuvieron completamente separados.

Y ahora, sobre el libro. Está escrito un poco a manera de revista, por lo que nunca se siente como si fuera pesado o aburrido, de heho deja la sensación de que se puede leer por una eternidad y aun así terminarías rápidamente. No es tanto como un estilo literario y Trinka veces habla como si estuviera en el mo

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this book and many seem to be for the reason that it was published in 1986 and misses out a large proportion of Bowie’s life and career. However, I don’t see this as a bad thing, and actually think it gave room for a much more detailed look at his early life, his relationship with Angie, the birth of Zowie and his gradual decent into worldwide stardom. It also focuses deeply on Bowie’s life as an actor, in motion films and on stage. I found this aspect of the book fascinating; something that is not often discussed about his life and something I myself had never really researched or read about. It enlightened me to a number of films and plays that I have never heard off or knew Bowie had participated in, and as a film lover it was great to discover and watch them along side reading Hopkins biography. Overall, I am giving this a solid 4 star rating. Well written, informative, enjoyable and emotional. A good read for any Bowie fan.

David Buckley covers all of David Bowie's complicated life and career...From the earliest singles in the 60's...to his peak period in the 1970's...to his dreadful albums in the mid 80s, and his creative comeback in the 1990's...Buckley does a great job chronicling Bowie's growth and development...as well as his many changes over the years. We get to read all about the making of such classic albums as "Hunky Dory', "The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars", "Aladin Sane", "Diamond Dogs", "Scary Monsters," "Let's Dance" and many more...David Buckley had access to an incredible amount of research...including extensive interviews with most of the major players in David Bowie's illustrious career...veteran producer and friend Tony Visconti, long-time guitarist Carlos Alomar, veteran keyboardist Mike Garson, ex-manager Ken Pitt, veteran producer Ken Scott, legendary lead guitarist Earl Slick, former lead guitarist Adrien Belew, 90's musical collaborator / lead guitarist Reeves Gabrels and many more.

The portrait Buckley paints of Bowie is of a brilliant, extremely complicated, and highly unpredictable man...filled with a strong sense of alienation, and general cold detachment from the world at large. Bowie is the ultimate ADD artist...constantly living his life in movements...figuratively speaking...and literally. As a young man, he was bold and confident...and could do no wrong, even when he WAS wrong. Blessed with a pitch perfect voice, and gift for wordplay...Bowie grew up as David Jones in a modest household in the United Kingdom...His hero has a young man was his older half-brother Terry. It was Terry who opened up the young David Jones' eyes and ears to the world of music....sharing his music, and taking young David to concerts (such as Cream in 1966, when David was 19). Unfortunately Terry descended into madne
