If it was a biography I wouldn't have read it. It's much more accessible than strapping in for all of Bowie's contradictions. You just strap in for the equivalent of 3 or 4 well-researched web features about why Blackstar is a great album, how Bowie created Britpop, how Bowie did too many drugs in the late 70's and made his best albums while doing it, and how Bowie's 80's albums should be ignored and his 21st-century ones listened to more often. These are all propositions I agree with.
