Did anybody read the new Brian Morton's Prince bio ?

I'm thinking about buying Brian Morton's 'The thief in the temple'.



Is it worth reading? Any news we don't already know?

Well, there have been a few threads. I wrote a mini-review on the news thread about it:

http://www.prince.org/msg...8966?&pg=3

Summary - it isn't great, but it is worth a read all the same. It isn't completely shit, but then again Prince fans are a pretty tough audience to please.

Bart also posted a thread, he was much more critical about it, focusing on the factual inaccuracies and some of the wackier unfounded "pop psychology" theories in the book.
