Synopsis: For these England natives, Hello America was an appropriate song ; telling about a young boy who wanted to visit America. In the early 1980s, Def Leppard got their wish. Read about Def Leppard's history from how they started to various tragedies that would change the band forever. Current members Rick Savage, Joe Elliot, Rick Allen , Phil Collen, and Vivian Campbell still know how to rock!
My Review: The book was ok for what it was. I like wild rock stories and while Def Leppard has some there wasn't any in this book. I can't hold that against the book though because the book is for younger readers and I didn't know that it was when I put it on hold at the library.
While I feel it focuses heavily on the car accident that took drummer Rick Allen's arm, it does do decently at telling the very basic history of the band. It covers a good bit of the basic info about the band. Plus , it also tells a little bit about the making of some of the album's.
It wasn't as gritty as I like my rock n roll biographies to be but that's understandable because it's for a younger audience. It did give us the basic history of the band though so that's why I'm giving it a 3 star rating. I know I made the mistake of accidentally putting a book for a young reader on hold but, I wish this story would have been grittier.
Reader Question:
I still need a book about the band Poison for my summer concert highlight series. Not a huge fan of Poison so I don't know of there being a book about them or any members. I can't even find one on Amazon so if you know of any leave them in the comments.
That's it for this reading update! I hope you all have a nice night. If you have read the book leave your thoughts in the comments. Also if you like my content please give my blog a follow. That's it for now talk to you all later! Bye!
