Book Reviews of Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre

Book Review: Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre... Lengthy, Fun, and it Looks Great
Summary: 5 Stars

A funny and very interesting biography of my favorite band, Gorillaz. Reads like a huge interview and is full of masterful art pieces. Though it, of course, doesn't offer the mellow feeling of the band's music, the book is great and you will likely hope to finish it. It is something to pass the time with as you wait for the completion of their next studio album. No issues with shipping as far as I could see.

Don't hope (as I did) for too many believable song/video meanings or any full lyrics inside (possibly best if you don't understand the meanings anyway); but expect plenty of information about the characters, their fake lives before their fame and during each hiatus, and their singles. Looks professional enough to keep(arguably nicer without the book cover) and it was a fun and long read; easily earns my 5 stars. Hell, it even has a surprise ending..

Summary of Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre

The graphic novel meets the salacious rock and roll celebrity tell-all.

Gorillaz-bass-player mastermind Murdoc Niccals, hip hop hardman drummer Russel Hobbs, Japanese girl-guitarist Noodle and spiky blue-haired singer 2D-have lived the rock & roll life that other stars can only dream of-rife with demonic possessions, underworld dealings, amnesia, prison terms, and jaw-dropping stupidity.

Conceived by musician Damon Albarn and comic book creator Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz have reconfigured the musical landscape, uniquely encapsulating the creative spirit of the digital age. In Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre the Gorillaz put mouth to paper, revealing the complete story of this groundbreaking band from inception to fame-and all the depraved misadventures along the way.
