Hi Jupira, yes I have read it! I don´t remember it too well as it was quite a few years ago, but I think it was a good book. The only problem is it stops at the end of ROTS I thnk. A more up to date biography would be the one by Laura Jackson (I htink that´s the right name), written after YTO.

Patrick Humphries (UK) is a long time fan. He took the chance to write this after the huge success of Graceland, especially in the UK (Finally 2.2 Million copies sold there).

Be careful, the book later appeared in the US, I think with another title (Still crazy?).

Kelly, there are quite a few biographies, S&G and PS.

PS: the PS ones are better...

The Boy In The Bubble by Patrick Humphries is a biography.

The hardback ends just after Graceland. There is a paperback with a short epilogue but I don´t think it mentions much about Rhythm Of The Saints as it came out in 1989.

Reading finished.Its a pity the book ends after Graceland,I would like to know more about the others... By the way, don´t you guys feel the vocabulary of the author a lot sophisticated?
