Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is definitely NOT the place!!
Review: This book is NOT worth your money, you better spent it to buy the bands music, after all thats why we loved the Talking Heads for! Making music and not making a soap! Anyway, the book is CRAP and the author even more CRAP!!!!! The man must take a job instead of making money with this kind of soap. Enter delete and go up to the music, guys!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Tina is not Yoko
Review: This book is written at the sixth grade level and full of obvious innaccuracies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superlicious
Review: This is a fascinating story. The whole punk scene has been done to death, yet Bowman manages to say something new, be it post-19th Century Civil War references to CBGBs or a series of paintings Any Warhol made using urine (Piss Paintings).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Much too David/Tina centric
Review: TMBTP is not poorly written, but it's not terribly well-written either. I wish Bowman could have been more objective! I didn't expect such an incredible bias towards David Byrne. I'm a huge fan of Byrne, but I like the rest of the band just a much, and I DON'T feel that I got the whole story.

Still, it's the only Heads biography still in print, and though it reads like a soap opera/Behind the Music episode, it IS interesting, if hard to swallow.
