Review: Great read for any U2 fan!!! - U2 by U2 is the ultimate book for any die-hard U2 fans. With more than 150 hours of interviews, U2 by U2 describes the music, the relationships and the evolution of the band in their own words. Set in a beautiful, large coffee table style book, U2 by U2 can be enjoyed again and again--first by looking at the photos, then by reading conversations among the band. If you are a U2 fan, buy this book. If you know a U2 fan, give them this book as a gift. You will not be disappointed. Pros: Presented in an attractive coffee table book Lots and lots of great U2 pictures from the 1970s to today More than 150 hours of interviews with U2 on their lives from the 1970s to today Well organized in chronological order Cons: No con unless you don't like U2 - then you shouldn't buy this book Description: U2 by U2 is the first book by the whole band in their own words and pictures. U2 by U2 starts with childhood stories from the 1960s and continues on through the Vertigo tour. I am a U2 fan. When I first picked up U2 by U2, I felt slightly giddy. I took my time opening the heavy cover and flipping through the thick shiny pages full of pictures. I glanced at enlarged bold quotes, previewing the details that were waiting for my closer reading. U2 by U2 is not a quick memoir on the band that could be read in a weekend. It is not a magazine article, or even a compilation of articles. No, U2 by U2 is as dense as one of the band's albums. Like the music, it can be enjoyed on a superficial level--sitting on the coffee table, ready to entertain you for a few minutes time. But this is a book that can also be savored. Listen to Boy as you read about their early years. Or flip to the section that corresponds with whatever U2 CD is already playing in your car. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. offer revealing, witty insight into the music and the moments around its creation. Reading U2 by U2 will only make your listening experience more enjoyable....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the fans
*by S***N on January 20, 2007*

To be completely honest I really liked this book. Some people may find the format of the book (basically interview format throughout) to be hard to read. There is a lot of information here and if you plan on a little light reading I wouldn't recommend it. It takes quite some time to read from cover to cover. For the these reasons I would rcommend this book to an audience of mostly fans of u2, bono, or rock history. One wonderful strong point of this book is that it is ABSOLUTLEY BRIMMING with wonderful photographs and the graphic design of the book makes the book itself a piece of art. The material itself is really great if you want to know as much as you can about the band. They give acounts of early gigs and many ineresting info about songs and people involved with U2. One thing that I had a problem with in this book is the language. There are quite a few profane/swear words. To some people this may not be a bad thing, after all U2 arae a rock band, it's basically excpected. I however didn't like the colourful language. All in all this book was a good purchase. Just be prepared for an overload of U2!!!!, and very large pages of radiant photography and interview directly from the memebrs of the band themselves (and paul McGuinness at times).
