 Maiden Bio August 12, 2008
This is a well written bio that I enjoyed. It's a must for any Maiden fan. I found that the author covered the subject matter in enough detail without going too far into trivial things. That said, I did find the last few chapters of the book very disjointed and a bit 'ecclectic' for want of a better word. I got a little lost here. Nevertheless the subject matter was very good. Well written and very interesting.

Very winded, boring book. I've heard this from several people (big Maiden fans like me) as well. Simply put...don't waste your money on this garbage.
Wanted to like it... I really did.... January 13, 2008
I agree with that other reviewer, this book was OK. I am a big Maiden fan, but this book is too long. About halfway through, they're still on "Piece of Mind". They spend less time talking about the more underhyped classics like "Piece of Mind" and "Dance of Death", and more about their most overhyped like "Number of the Beast" and "PowerSlave".
They do include some interesting quotes, but the discography study stops at "Dance of Death" (And this was written and released after "A MAtter of Life and Death". So much of the book is cluttered with stuff we already know.
THe GOOD thing is that they do include some interesting rare photos from Ross Halfin, some Band Members notes, but overall that's about it.
So if you can buy this book for under $20 (I bought it at the airport before going to Mexico for $15.99), then do get it, but if you pay ANYTHING over $20, you're paying too much.
Get "Run to the Hills: The Official Biography", that is an awesome book worth your time. Or for photos, "MAIDEN" by Ross Halfin, the band's photographer.

As an Iron Maiden fan since their debut album, I was really excited about this book. Less than halfway through it (the album "Number Of The Beast), I'm not sure if I'll continue it much longer. There is so much written about other people that it clutters the pages. I want to read about Dave Murray, Steve Harris, in essence "the band" and what they did on and off stage, recording, anything exciting, etc. Nothing yet that really goes into that. It's like I'm not even reading about Iron Maiden. Maybe this is a hit for some people, but I'd recommend another title.
 Great Book! February 3, 2007
This was a really good book. I have read several Maiden biographies over the years so most of what was in this book I already knew, but it was still a good read and brought back a lot of good memories. Worth picking up.
