Keith Richards: Before They Make Me Run

THERE ARE PLENTY OF GOOD BOOKS ON THE STONES EARLY YEARS. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER BOOKS FOR THE 90S AND FORWARD. VERY READABLE.

The best book on Keith. It captures the soul of the man. As for the facts review. I don't agree. For example this is the only source that gives the name of the jewler that made The Famous RING, but also the circumstances round the gift. Great book! A must read if you are a Stones fan.

Good overall bio, written with obvious fan's love for Richards. A good addition to the stable of bios out there.

A fascinating look at what makes Kieth Richards tick. Needs is very knowledgable about his subject, but what really made this book compelling was the insight into Kieth's personality and the contrast between his very real bad boy image and his creativity and compassion. The author makes no bones about being a charter member of the "Keef" fan club but after reading this book I'm inclined to join him.

Interviews with rock musician Keith Richards himself rounds out a fine biography of the man in the unusual KEITH RICHARDS: BEFORE THEY MAKE ME RUN. Needs first met Richards at a drug trial in 1977 so has years of exclusive interviews to draw upon in his survey of a changing, eventful life. These interviews contribute vastly to an upbeat coverage which traces Keith's love of music: the core of his being.

Kris Needs has a nice writing style, and bubbles with a lot of enthusiasm for Keith, so it's too bad he hasn't been paying better attention: The book is full of glaring inaccuracies that you don't even need to be a particularly intent Stones fan or Keith devotee to notice. If you were having trouble finding a competent researcher, editor and/or proofreader, Kris, all you had to do was call me!

Well I'm still reading it, I have read loads of Stones books, this one is a good read.

Excellent read but print was microscopic needed a magnifying glass to read it

Ho trovato il libro come me lo aspettavo quindi non ho avuto grosse sorprese.A me personalmente,non avendolo ancora finito,interessante.La storia e molto bella anche se un pò cruda.Il mio parere è di un buon libro.

IŽve been reading a few books about Keith by now, but thatŽs the one I enjoyed most. Really good written. Kris Needs knows Keith well and you see this, when youŽre reading his book. ItŽs really informative. YouŽll be learing much about Keith the Rockstar and much about Keith the family man. My result: Buy it, if you wanna learn more about Keith.
