Book Reviews of Johnny Thunders: In Cold Blood
Book Review: D.T.K. L.A.M.F., right on
Summary: 5 Stars
The man, the myth, the mess and the whole story!!! Good history and a great read. Must have for any Dolls or Thunders fan!! (Teddy Heavens)Book Review: Johnny Thunders In Cold Blood
Summary: 4 Stars
Nina Antonia offers a very subjective and even-handed view of the career of rock legend Johnny Thunders. Ms. Antonia's book is the most comprehensive glimpse of Mr. Thunders' life that I have seen. Nina Antonia fastidiously outlines the career of this seminal rock & roll icon. The only drawback was that I found myself pining for more details about Mr. Thunders' personal life.Book Review: Needs More
Summary: 4 Stars
Great photos throughout the book. Some good info but not enough detail. BUT you do get to know Johnny a little better and there's enough life story there. Buy it.Book Review: needs more careful research, as well as an index...
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is useful for anyone interested in this seminal and influential figure of the American rock music underground. However, the author has the annoying habit of repeating accepted 'truths' that should be related with some scepticism. Case in point; "Jerry Nolan saw Elvis...". Many people simply do not believe junkie Jerry's stories (in one interview he spoke of an informal discussion with Jimi Hendrix, only the time and place he provided were clearly after Hendrix' death). I think Jerry Nolan was the world's greatest rock drummer, but when writing a book, careful presentation of material is in order.
This book also completely omits an index, making reference difficult or impossible. And yes, a book on Johnny Thunders does deserve an index, despite what you might otherwise think.
Hopefully these flaws will be repaired in any future editions of the book.
