A Great Book About The "King of Goth Rock" Robert Smith & The Cure !!!!!

This is an excellent, well written, well illustrated book on the history of Robert Smith (including his childhood) and his band "The Cure". It covers the details about the recording sessions for each "Cure" album, up through the albums "the Cure", & "Faith", & "Join the Dots" (Box Set). Its very interesting to find out all they went through while recording these albums. Robert Smith is quite a "character". This book also contains a complete "Discography" of every album released by the Cure, from their beginning "Three Imaginary Boys" up through the 2004 release of "The Cure" album & "Join the Dots" (The Box Set). It also contains a list of all the people who have been members of the band, and the dates that they were members (They had quite a "turn-over"). It also contains a "Videography" of all their videos that have been released through the Video "Galore". This is a great book, and a "must-have" for any Cure fan, and I'm a fan. Do yourself a favor, and order one, you'll enjoy it. Its great reading for any rock fan period. Thanks!!!!

A Must read for the hardcore Cure fan....

This book was absolutely amazing. I have been a serious Cure fan for over 25 years and I must say this book was a fantastic read. The author really did his research. Its definitely a must read for anybody who wants to know the whole story or at least all that the author could get out of the boys.I'll probly read it again there was so much info. The behind the scenes of a band whose career has spanned over 30 years in detail like you can't imagine.....

Never Enough

As complete a bio as we're going to find on The Cure until Bob really calls it quits for sure. The book is full of minutae and tidbits of The Cure you're not going to find anywhere else.

completely EXCELLENT info and storytelling

i am a diehard cure fan since about 1985, but this book told me so much info i really feel like i did my homework! excellent stories, amazing detailed, fairly balanced on controversial issues, great photos. if you wish you'd been in on the cure during their teenage years, this book will fill you in to a serioius level. truly entertaining read. i'd recommend this highly...but please avoid In Between Days: An Armchair Guide to the Cure unless you really just want to read discographical info.

For now, the QUINTESSENTIAL biography of the greatest band ever!! The Cure!!

A Great!! GREAT! Book. Starting from when Lol Tolhurst, Mike Dempsey, Simon Gallup, and Robert Smith joined and from other band join ins and outs. Talks an awful lot of Robert Smiths life as a child with his childhood friend and former bandmate Lol Tolhurst. Incredible book!! There is alot more tho that I would have wanted to see. THe author cut off at some songs when introducing an album to speed up the book. Alot of songs were left unspoken of which kinda ticked me off but other than that I LOVED it!! For Cure fans alike this book is a MUST read!!! It's great! Don't hesitate, buy it!! You will love it!!
