Review of 'The U2 reader' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A mixed bag as expected despite the thematic groupings of each chapter. Overall, this is worth the read for any U2 fan, if only to immerse oneself in the documentation of the obscure Irish punk band-to-global media juggernaut story that is the band's history. Note: there are far too many typos for a product of the respected music publisher Hal Leonard.

What really becomes apparent when reading a miscellany such as this is that there are always going to be a myriad of opinions on any subject. Bordowitz does a good job of providing articles which represent both sides of controversial U2 moves. You won't agree with all of them, but it's good to hear what others think.
