In a groundbreaking biography that draws on unprecedented access to Springsteen and those closest to him, acclaimed music critic Peter Ames Carlin presents the most revealing account yet of New Jersey's favorite son. With contributions from band members past and present, Bruce encompasses the breadth of the Boss's astonishing career and explores the inner workings of an American icon right up through his most recent sold-out tour and #1 album.
Reviews with the most likes.
You can definitely tell the author is a fan. Which is fine, but it got a little hero-worshipy at some points(even though I am also a fan).
Having been a fan of Bruce for a long time, I was looking forward to this book.
It is a warts and all take on the history of Bruce and The E Street Band. It moves from Bruce's childhood all the way through to the very recent past.
The book is well researched with Peter Carlin having access to a lot of people who have been intimately involved in the Bruce Story.
