Definitely the best and most comprehensive Bowie book I've read (close second would be The Man Who Sold the World by Peter Doggett which goes into more detail about the conception of individual songs, but only during the 60's/70's).
This book is well researched, and objective about its subject (the worst thing I've heard about Bowie isn't mentioned, but other than that the author doesn't any away from aspects of either his behaviour or music which are less appealing). There's a lot of stuff here I've never heard before, and pictures I've never seen, and I just can't think what else would be needed in a Bowie book
