One of our most fascinating stars, his story has never been satisfactorily told until now.

Review:
Starman is a very well written biography of the legendary icon, David Bowie. I’ve read a couple of books about Bowie over the years and thought I’d heard everything there was to know about Bowie. Starman has some interesting details revealed through the numerous people who have played a part in the life of this musician and actor.
The book covers from Bowie’s childhood to the last few years, so there is some pretty current information as well as the classic years.
Great and very informative book if you are a Bowie fan.
