Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: Although this book is not a biography, it is a well thought collaberation of stories and memories of Jeff friends and loved ones. Only a true fan will embrace this book for all it is worth. The pictures also tell stories of thier own. Like Jeffs music, these pictures show the deversity of his style also his physical appearance. Jeff Buckley never carries the same physical appearance in any of his pictures. Again like his music, he was able to carry any style and do it well. This book celebrates Jeffs life as "Jeff" the friend and loved one, not from an authors perception of the stories, but rather from the people in which Jeff dearly loved and who loved him as well. Not only will this book give you the insite to who Jeff truely was, it will also take your eyes on a visual joyride as well.

Summary: Tender and beautiful
Review: I think of something so hot, you can't stand to touch it for longer then a second--but that one second leaves a burn and scar and memory that will last forever. That's how I think of Jeff, from his music, and how this book presents him. It's a book celebrating his life, which, by fate, memorializes his death. Jeff "was." He didn't make enough music before he became a past tense, but what he left is worth the continued praise and thoughts it still generates. I wish I could send every teenager who likes boy bands this book, to show them what a real artist looks like.

Summary: Oh, What Could Have Been...
Review: If you're expecting a lovely picture book, then this is the book for you. It is a display of pictures, which speak a thousand words about a much missed musical virtuoso. There are snippet stories from several of his friends, but nothing too profound.
Sadly, the layers of Jeff Buckley's talent were just being revealed when he tragically died. His music is lush, contemplative, emotional and full of life. This book is a loving demonstration of his too short life.

Summary: accuracy please. he deserves it.
Review: Its a "behind the scenes" of rise of a young, talented artist. Its not too often you get to hear and see an artist's perspective of another artist.Merri was allowed to photograph Jeff when he was starting out in New York and became his exclusive photographer. The pictures are outtakes from the album artwork and live shots of Jeff in concert. If you are a true fan of Jeff Buckley, you have to have this book.

Summary: fantastic book
Review: The photographs are beautiful, and the anecdotes are truly insightful. I'm used to reading about how Jeff touched so many fans. This book differs in that those who really knew him offer glimpses into his personality. Very candid and touching in parts. Highly recommended.

Summary: Worth it for the pictures
Review: The short "skits" that try to explore Buckley as a person can be extremely weak and full of unnecessary commentary from the "author" from time to time. The bits that do resonant are well worth it and extremely tasteful. The pictures are marvelous and that alone makes the book worth buying. Really helped me discover the man behind the touching music.
