Customer Reviews

Wasted money!!

I hate this book, I wish I never bought it. I feel I wasted my money buying this. All this author writes about is Ricks music and band members. There is basically no personal stories, The Author said there would be things in this book, that weren't in Ricks books. The Author lied. This book is basically about all of Rick music, adn I'd rather listen to it than read about it. Don't buy this book if you want to know about Rick James, all it tells about is music, on every page is about his music. This author only did this for money, and I find him a big liar. Hey author, do the world a favor, don't wrote anymore boring bio books, you are terrible at it!.
