All Night Long...: The True Story of Bon Jovi

Rating:
Summary: All Hail the Great Bon Jovi
Review: Do you love the Bon jovi as much as i do? Still get goose bumps when you hear Always or the beginning chords of Wanted? Or have you just discovered this great band and want to find out just what you've been missing all these years? Then this book is for you! It covers the everything from their slow but steady start in the bars of New Jersey until their record breaking days as one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever! But read this book quick because with their new album CRUSH about to hit stores, in June I am quite sure the story is not over. And there will be a quite a few more bon jovi books to read in the not to distant future. But for now this is the best Bon jovi book out there.

Summary: I CAN'T SEE...
Review: I can't see how a book with only 96 pages can cover all the aspects of the career of such a great, good and famous band as Bon Jovi, with already almost twenty years on the road. TO to that, it is necessary a book like Mick Wall wrote about Iron Maiden, called "RUN TO THE HILLS", with almost 300 pages filled with text (not photos).

Summary: All Night Long... : The True Story of Bon Jovi
Review: It's clear from this book that this guy cannot write. Bon Jovi are huge and have a huge story to tell. Can you tell it in 99 pages? Of course not. Where 'The Dirt' by Motley Crue is sublime, this book by Wall is ridiculous. There is no style to his writing. His words are far from exciting, and, are infact, boring. Clearly he has done this just for the money. Unless of course, he just can't write. I suspect he is a college grad who's pa works for the publishing company. You get no insight into the band here, and you learn nothing new. Motley Crue are much finer storytellers, and they are not even writers. (Yes I know the book was ghost written by journo Neil Strauss.) Save your money on this one. I have all the books on Bon Jovi, and this is the only one I'd say steer well clear of. It's just a shame I can't get my money back. Still, die hard Jovi fans will lap it up purely because it's about their fave band and they have to have all the stuff they can collect. But anyone with a brain will give up on this past page 12. Mick Wall, who is he? Get a life and learn to write, buddy! But please, no more rock bios! Leave it to the pro's, like Neil Strauss!
