    What a heroic account of Bon’s Life. Loved it!
  

*by S***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2022*

I really respect this author for the time and energy he spent in gathering all this information. It truly shows how much empathy and respect he had for this legendary amazing man and many times this book made me cry because BON was on the way to recovery from his addictions and the false self he had created as a rock star with all the empty relationships and empty soul wrenching crap that many in show business deal with. If he had a person just one that he could have trusted enough to be his anchor through this he would have made it. Sadly, he seemed surrounded by many who were contributing to his demise.

    Excellent research, fascinating theories, falls short as complete work.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2019*

This is not a biography.This is an exploration into Bon's time with AC/DC as it pertains to his isolation, alcoholism and his casting as a role that was not his personality. The author sets the stage for his death and why members of AC/DC and the record company would be players in the cover-up and the gutting of his apartment before his funeral.It is an excellent read.Hardcore AC/DC fans will not like all of the parts as it hits Brian Johnson hard and paints the Youngs as money grubbing, heartless frauds that didn't like Bon until they could cash in on his death.  It may or may not be true but the fans won't like that aspect of the book.Bon fans will enjoy the glimpse into his life on the road and the uncovering of the man's dreams beyond AC/DC.The positives:Amazing interviews. Uncovering old girlfriends, people that were with him the night he died, friends that knew him in America when he was hitting new low points.Piecing together the timelines. Yes, there are multiple versions, of the night he died and who knew what when.The evidence of AC/DC's involvement of clearing out his apartment and with it all of the lyrics he'd written included those for bands that were not AC/DCThe alcoholism. This was not just a rock star partying. Bon was in deep and the picture is clear.The heroin. The official version of his death has never made sense. The heroin piece does. The evidence is overwhelming that it played a role in his death.The negatives:The author throws in snippets of interviews he did not do but those he found in other books. While this helps to show contradiction it is jarring to read when they are all over the place. For example, Angus didn't contribute to the book but is quoted constantly to show how the story changed. The book would have read better if that information was contained in one place instead of scattered throughout.The author uncovers a couple of girlfriends, but it is so clear he had many that he confided in. I would have loved to have seen more uncovered.None of the four key interviews surrounding the timeline of his death are from reputable sources. They were all on heroin or had something to gain from not telling the truth or covering up the true nature of his death.Too much time was spent on Bon writing lyrics for Back In Black. Once the author revealed Bon's apartment was cleared out by AC/DC the point is a non-issue. The horse's name, the Chartreuse eyes were enough evidence. The apartment was the smoking gun. The author went on and on too much. It just seemed like he wanted to destroy Brian and the Youngs when it wasn't necessary. The focus of the ending should have stayed fixed on his death not the lyrics.I loved reading this and I loved the perspective from voices we've never heard before on the topic of Bon.If you come expecting a salacious rock biography then don't bother. This is a whodunit and it is nearly perfect to read.Let There Be Rock

    What I got from this interesting book
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2017*

Based on my take after reading this, the book explicitly opines that, based on exhaustive research by the author, Bon wrote many of the lyrics to Back In Black (though likely edited by The Young brothers after Bon's passing).  A theory the Young brothers steadfastly deny but millions of dollars and their reputations would be lost if they admit it.The book also theorizes that they secretly pay royalties to the Bon Scott estate.The book argues Bon likely died of a heroin overdose which the AC/DC corporation also steadfastly deny though none of the other band or crew were with him that night and panic by those with him to cover their own behinds helps the band's denial.The book seems to suggest AC/DC is more concerned with keeping a false legend they've cultivated over the years regarding Bon's life more than allowing the facts to be known.Had they admitted Bon actually wrote the lyrics to BIB, they feared their fan base would not accept Brian and the bands future would be in danger.I also feel the book suggests the Young brothers were seriously considering firing Bon due to his bad habits that escalated during the nonstop touring as they tried to breakout in America. It also suggests that in the last year Bon toured with AC/DC they increasingly kept him out of band business and censored his lyrics on the last couple of albums he was involved with to the point Bon was at times depressed and considering quitting if the next record (BIB) didn't sell well. But he was so well liked by people he met and his fans in general that the band management feared admitting he was actually becoming a liability as far as they were concerned and this would be detrimental to the future of AC/DC so they changed the narrative to suggest Bon and the Young brothers were tight buddies until the day he died. The book suggests Bon wanted help, a family life and a less rigorous touring schedule even though he never made any real money while he lived out of a suitcase for 3 plus years on a small weekly allowance. This was just about to change when he made a terrible choice to dabble with heroin while celebrating being finished with the lyrics to BIB and it cost him his life and fortune right when it was about to happen for him and the band.Many of the people approached for insight to these final years of Bon's life for this book seemed somewhat hesitant to speak openly for a variety of reasons it seems.Great read, highly recommended and props to Jesse Fink's efforts here..
