My thanks to Hachette books, Stephen Davis and Netgalley.
This book gets all the stars! I loved it.
Duran Duran has always been in my top favorite band's of all time.
Usually when I read a book like this, I spend a lot of time watching old videos and listening to the music. I didn't need to this time. Because Duran isn't a band that I ever stopped listening to.
I am a huge fan of their music. But, I'll admit that I'm not a super fan. I've never known anything about their lives.
But, I always had a favorite. So, I wanted to know why he disappeared. My favorite was Roger Taylor, the drummer! Extremely hot, and quiet and reserved! I loved that! Also, I've always had a thing for drummers. I ended up marrying one!
I liked hearing these stories. Are they watered down? Yes, I believe so. But for someone like me who doesn't need the dirt, and just the basics then this will do.
I'd recommend this book to someone like me who is a huge fan of the music, but slightly interested in slices of the musicians life.
For die hards? No. I guarantee they could write a book that would put this to shame! They be crazy like that!

I grew up with this band in the 80’s. I loved the insight the author gave by talking about the band and giving their history. I read it in one day and enjoyed it.

I was given a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest opinion and review.
