Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Honest and Insightful
Review: A definite for any Sublime fan. Insightful; an honest look into Bradley from some of his closest friends. Interviews from Bud, Eric, Troy, and his Parents among others. (Although I was really expecting some verbage from Miguel, Ras MG, and Opie.) Excellent graphics; from photos of Brad as a youngster, to his school report cards and hand written essays and lyrics. A deeply sincere letter from Troy to Jake could be a tearjerker for some. Check it out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for every die-hard Sublime Fan!
Review: From the moment I got this book, I haven't been able to put it down! If you want to read about Sublime and the life of Bradley Nowell this is the bible! The book has lots of unseen photos of Brad, Bud, and Eric and Brad's family and friends and yes, Louie dogg too! It gives an in dept perception of what a crazy life Bradley led from being devoted to his family and the demons of his drug addiction. If you think you've read and know about Sublime you haven't touch the tip of the iceberg until you read this book! My only regret is not buying this book when it first came out!

Summary: An Average Tale of Greatness
Review: Has it really come to this? A glossy Sublime picture book? I guess it's for the folks who never got the Sublime documentary DVD to play in their VCR. Picture one of those ultra-glossy N.K.O.T.B. biography magazines and you've got the idea here.

I like the positive, fist-person testimony just fine, but this book needs a plot, a flow, and a brain. And, at times, a spell checker. More effort on the part of the author to hunt down the people who know the truth, even if they didn't idolize Bradley. Find a point besides, "Brad is swell".

I mean, did anybody dislike Brad? Get the scoop from the record execs that didn't sign him. He was a huge druggie, but no conversations with a dealer or two? Who made the final descision to boot Sublime from the Warped tour? He had trouble with the law but no case worker could be found?

I justify my purchase two ways. 1) I'm a huge fan and would probably buy a CD of Bradley sleeping. 2) The money goes to Jake.

I've listened to Sublime's music and Bradley sang with a brutal honesty that is nowhere in this book. He would be [angry].

Summary: to the guy who was asking about Brad's age
Review: I believe he was 28 when he died.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well worth the price
Review: I have been a Sublime fan for years and this is the first book that I feel truly pays tribute to the legendary Bradley Nowell. The pictures alone are worth the price of this book. The entire book, including all text, is laid out amongst glossy color photos. Some pictures are common among Sublime fan web sites, but many are rare and never seen before. The interviews are very casual, which makes it very easy to become absorbed by the book. What a brilliant man, what a loss to society. I have a friend who is having many problems with the same drug that took Brad's life. This book has really helped me deal with the thought of loosing a close friend. A must read for all Sublime fans. A good read for anyone who wants to better understand the hardships of drug abuse. Either way, you won't be able to put this book down!!!!
