'The closest we'll ever get to a straight up Bowie autobiography -- but who'd ever want anything straight-up from Bowie?' - Rolling Stone In 2002, David Bowie and Mick Rock created Moonage Daydream, the defining document of the life and times of Ziggy Stardust. Twenty years later, it remains the closest readers will get to understanding Bowie through his own words. Alongside over 600 photographs taken by Mick Rock, Bowie's personal and often humorous commentary gives unprecedented insight into his work and the creation of his most memorable persona. Readers can see how Bowie singlehandedly challenged and elevated 1970s culture through his style, his inspirations ranging from Kubrick to Kabuki, and his creative spirit, which endures through the decades. Moonage Daydream is the essential David Bowie book. First published as a signed limited edition, Moonage Daydream sold out in a matter of months and became lore among David Bowie fans. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Bowie's acclaimed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the book is available again. Published in a new larger format, this uncut edition keeps to Bowie and Rock's original vision, allowing us to explore Moonage Daydream the way the authors intended. 'This is a book of extraordinary photographs. Ziggy Stardust blazed briefly but intensely, and I am delighted to see his life and times as a rock'n'roll star immortalised in this book.' - David Bowie… (meer)

In the process of Mick Rock's start to become a rock photographer we get to see his visual documentation as he follows David Bowie around, annotated by Bowie himself.

This is almost a photographic record of Bowie's kick-off into stardom as he is about to release "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars". The book follows his climb from local star into America and ends just as he's taking the next step, slightly during and after "Pin-ups", the fated cover album.

During the entire book one cannot slip the feeling of Bowie being an icon in so many ways, staying humble through his own words, debunking myths (once as "tosh") and glorifying the people who helped him to garb, make-up and generally help him in a variety of ways, not least Mick Ronson and Mick Rock. The Micks.

All in all, a very, very well-edited tome of one of the biggest - if not The biggest - pop-star these modern days have seen. ( )

This book is the Diamond Dog's Bollocks! A must for any Bowie fan, or of Mick Rock's photography, Glam Rock, the early 70s or rock history.

Now, I can't really give an objective review because I'm too much in love with this period of Bowie's career. Trying to contain myself, I will say that this is mainly a book of photographs, and excellent they are. The added dimension is that DB has written notes for many of them, explaining what was happening, how he felt at the time or identifying other people in the frame. I particularly like that Mick Ronson (DB's Spiders from Mars guitarist) gets featured in many of the photos: he's almost as charismatic as Bowie himself in these pics.

One photo that particularly amused me is on page 276: It's the aftershow party following the final Ziggy gig and Bowie is sat with Mick Jagger. A woman has come over and is leaning into Bowie, cutting Jagger out of the conversation - if looks could kill...!

A fantastic book which, while quickly devoured even at 320 pages, is one that I'll definitely return to many times. ( )
