Reviews for Elton John: The Definitive Biography

The average rating for Elton John: The Definitive Biography based on 2 reviews is 2.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2011-01-01 00:00:00 Brent Preston This is a sensitive and articulated unauthorised biography of Elton John. In fact Elton has favorably stated that this is quite an accurate account of his life. Only Elton can fill in the gaps. For compelling reading by Philip Norman and for a great insight to the life of a legendary music star.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-28 00:00:00 Iain Southall I'm about a third of the way through. Disappointed so far. This book is a bit tedious putting way too much emphasis on irrelevant facts. I want to know about Elton, not just a chronological listing of all the gigs and people he met that got him where he is. What’s he like? I still don't have a real sense of him. I'll keep going, but I must admit to skimming a few pages in the process of finishing this book. Gave up... Elton really should have written his own biography. I think they are much better when they are written in the first person or maybe it is just that I prefer them that way.
