A review by satyridae
Mick Jagger by Philip Norman

3.0

Norman gives what appears to be a fairly evenhanded treatment of Jagger's life to date, though he seems obsessed with the "Mars Bar incident" and refers to it way too many times after initially debunking it. This is a really long book that doesn't even begin to be exhaustive- Jagger's life has been so full of women, of song, and of wine (where wine= any mind altering substance) that there's hardly room to cover half of it. My favorite parts were the chapters concerning the Rolling Stones tours that I have attended. I also found reading about Jagger's relationship with his kids purely fascinating. Yeah, I'm a fangirl.

It was interesting that it seemed to me that Norman started off with what seemed to me sort of an attitude that was anti-Mick, pro-Marianne, then in the middle of the book he seemed more or less on Mick's team, but by the end of the book was very pro-Jerry. Um, I sort of sound like E! Weekly, don't I?

If you're a Jagger fan, don't miss this.
