Book Reviews of The New York Dolls: Too Much Too Soon
Book Review: Good enough, but.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this coupled with the newer Dolls bio, "Trash! The Complete New York Dolls", and found "Too Much Too Soon" is more personal than "Trash...". It's prob'ly because the author Nina Antonia is a Johnny Thunders fanatic. Being personal can be good in a way that it is very deteiled about a small but funny episode like JT puked in the airport in front of the press in France, but can be bad to be too emotional about the band, which makes the whole book invalidate. Chlonologically, this book covers members' childhood until Jerry Nolan's death, while "Trash...." covers until 2004 reunion and beyond. I enjoyed reading it, but I prob'ly have to give "Trash...." more credit since it covers longer period, and Jerry Nolan and Arthur Kane more than this book does.
Summary of The New York Dolls: Too Much Too Soon
Too Much Too Soon is the definitive story of the most outrageous glam rock band of them all - The New York Dolls. The Dolls, peddling trans-gender pusturing and incendiary rock 'n' roll, were dumped by the record business after making just two albums. But their influence lived on when Malcolm McLaren injected the last of the Dolls' life blood into The Sex Pistols and changed pop forever. From punk to grunge, practically every new sensation in the contemporary rock scene has been a delayed reaction to The New York Dolls. Too Much Too Soon celebrates all the glorious sleaze and excess of the Dolls's brief auto-destruct career through interviews with the survivors, including band members, managers, roadies, groupies and hangers-on. the result is the ultimate saga of unrepentant rock 'n' roll debauchery. This new edition of Too Much Too Soon takes the story up to the Doll's reunion for Morrissey's Meltdown in 2004 - and tragic death of Arthur Kane shortly afterwards.Rock Books
