The book is taken from any other book you've read, Per Neilsen, Alex Hahn, Liz Jones etc. but condensed down to a shorter story yet hitting most important parts. The bibliography in the back tells you where the info came from. Even though this goes up to pretty recent it, again, is pretty shortened. I'm half way through the book and I have gotten very little new stuff out of the book however, it's nice that the book isn't bias to a "good" or "bad" career in Prince's story and leaves it up to the reader to decide for themselves.

Right ... If a book comes out after what (above) has been out the writer would have to be from that point forward. This thread kinda reminds me of Dez's book. I've read about 1/2 of it and if anyone would write about it should be the people who experienced it first hand, not necessarily a 'fan' of the music.
