For years I searched store shelves in vain looking for a quality book on Peter Gabriel. When I at last looked online, I thought I had found what I needed. However, this biography reads more like a textbook than a warm or interesting biography. The author spliced the book together using available quotes and interviews, and seems to never have talked to Peter himself. And while there are many interesting tidbits, such as the fact that a schoolboy Gabriel once made a hat worn by Keith Richards of the Stones on TV, it really drags. Even I, a serious fan, found myself skipping through many sections. Worth the read? Yes. If you think of yourself as a serious fan. An enjoyable read? Not really. In fact, you may be disappointed in your hero when you learn how distant he was from his wife and family.

Bright would have done well to trim this book by more than half. While there's plenty of interesting detail, it gets lost in tedious description of surrounding product and people. I was also annoyed by the frequent spelling errors (not counting British English of course). In all, I read this book at first enthusiastically but in the long run simply to finish it. It's a terrible bore. That's a shame considering the intriguing subject.

A welcome update to his previous work, Bright's new book still has the same positive and negative sides of the first edition. Excellent research is his finest point (he talked to people who knew the subject well and did give great insights), but the stress on all matters personal and private seems to me a bit over the top. Sure we want to know what kind of a person Peter is besides his rock-star persona, but the text doesn't always succeed in connecting this with Gabriel's musical output.

A life that unfolds like a sunrise...
This is definately the best biography about Peter Gabriel that exists. I was surprised at how intimate it was especially in a sexual way, but PG himself I believe advocates... Lesen Sie weiter...

Excellent in-depth assessment of a fascinating man!
Mr. Bright has created a work that is readable and insightful about a man whose creativity and experimentation with rock sounds and textures is extraordinary. Lesen Sie weiter...
