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.
