AC/DC fans should get this! 15 January 2007
By Jinksyboy -
I have every AC/DC book ever published and this is probaly the most informative of them all. I'm a self confesed AC/DC FREAK and I 've read things in here that I never knew. One of the things I like about this book is the interviews with people that were in bands with Angus and Malcolm before they were in AC/DC. Some of the pictures in this book are rare. I like the one with Angus and Malcolm when they were kids on a rocking horse.. Also the pics of Bon and Brian when they young and the picture of Angus with Tantrum. Anyways, I would highly recomend this for every AC/DC fan out there.. Long Live AC/DC!!

A Quality Read 9 January 2007

At last, a very well written publication about AC/DC. It is highly informative & presented in easy to read language & format. It avoids regurgitating the now old & discredited myths & rumours about the band and instead provides an interesting analysis of the history and music of AC/DC and its musicians. It takes the reader on a well researched journey through 30+ years with the band. Thankfully, authors, Engleheart & Durieux, have taken great care to get the facts straight & have shown a particular undertanding & knowledge of the band's early history in Australia, their influences & the history of the Australian music scene. The photos are well selected & an added bonus. It is a book for fans who want fact rather than glitz.

I would recommend that this book be read in conjunction with Clinton Walker's book "Highway To Hell: The Life & Times of AC/DC Legend Bon Scott".
