Book Reviews of Five against One

Book Review: Poorly Written, Biased Book
Summary: 2 Stars

This book is tabloid journalism at best. It reads like the author conducted long interviews with only two sources--PJ's bitter second drummer and Eddie Vedder's estranged step-father. Both clearly had an ax to grind. The rest of the book seems like a distillation of many press clippings.

What's more, I don't even enjoy Pearl Jam's music as much as I did during the early 1990s, so I'm not a overzealous fan trying to protect the band's legacy. I simply wanted to read a well-balanced, well-written account of Pearl Jam's history. Skip this book. Reading it was a waste of time.

Summary of Five against One

More than any other band, Pearl Jam embodies the alternative style that dominates rock today. From their early days as fame-ducking grunge pioneers, through their headline-making battle with Ticketmaster, to their current status as self-assured survivors, Five Against One brings to life Pearl Jam's tumultuous ascent to superstardom in rich detail. A compelling portrait of the band's elusive leader Eddie Vedder and family photos never seen before by the public make this a must-have for every Pearl Jam fan.
