Kudos to Baker for writing a book about The Monkees, the most misunderstood group of rock history. They still tour and are still popular (and still damned good). But, aside from some decent photos and a fairly interesting pace, there's a ton of misrepresentations here, old rumours that noone bothered to check up on and just plain old errors. In dates, personal lives, etc.--just about every element is distorted at least somewhat. I'm not saying intentionally, but still... Which while it doesn't really stop you from reading, it gets pretty annoying. Come to think of it, of all the books published about The Monkees, there is no one single definitive tome available and there never has been. Maybe one day a serious literary endeavour will emerge to tell the whole story accurately, but then The Monkees story is not yet over.

This is a very fascinating book to have around and read. It's very interesting and again it's very informative. It has everything you want to know about all four monkees. It has nice interesting pictures as well. And also a very collectble book.

This book told the story of how the Monkees started out of being a fake band and then turning into one of the most popular bands in the 60's. It's a good book to read if making of bands is your thing.

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, WITH A DIFFERENT COVER TO IT, ITS VERY GOOD, I DIDN'T GET THE NEW ONE, SINCE I'VE YET TO COMPARE IT TO THE OLD ONE THAT I PUT AWAY, BUT ITS THE SAME AUTHOR, SO I'M PRETTY SURE THIS BOOK IS AS GREAT AS THE OLD ONE, PICS AND ALL.IS THIS THE SAME BOOK?
