W. A. R.: The Unauthorized Biography of William Axl Rose Book

Given that Mick Wall was put on Axl's sh-t-list even before Use Your Illusion dropped, a lot of what Wall writes here is based on constructions of second-hand accounts, new reports, court documents, etc. Which would be fine if it were well-written or engaging. But Wall is only an adequate writer, and while he tells Axl's story well enough to to not bore readers, his structure choices and time shifts make it a bit hard to follow.

Worse, this really ends up being less a biography of Axl Rose and more of Guns N' Roses, which is fine for a GNR fan like me, but that's not that the title of the book leads you to believe.
