Summary: Monkee Mania is right.............
Comment: This is a very fascinating book to have around and read. It's very interesting and again it's very informative. It has everything you want to know about all four monkees. It has nice interesting pictures as well. And also a very collectble book.

Summary: A very informative and entertaining book!
Comment: This is by far the most informative literary piece I have read on the Monkees. I have read numerous magazine articles and interviews but only one other book-"Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees" by Harold Bronson (which I really enjoyed). This book however was packed with pictures, information and incredibly detailed stories about the Monkees individually and as a group that I hadn't seen or heard before. I couldn't put it down. The only thing that bothers me about the validity of the information provided is that twice, the author states Peter's longtime girlfriend Reine Stewart as being the daughter of famous actor James Stewart. I am also a Jimmy Stewart fan and know this is absolutely not true (I know all four of his children and Reine is not one of them). This makes me question what other tidbits of information are not true. Otherwise, I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone (Monkees fan or not).

Summary: Entertaining but not completely accurate
Comment: Kudos to Baker for writing a book about The Monkees, the most misunderstood group of rock history. They still tour and are still popular (and still damned good). But, aside from some decent photos and a fairly interesting pace, there's a ton of misrepresentations here, old rumours that noone bothered to check up on and just plain old errors. In dates, personal lives, etc.--just about every element is distorted at least somewhat. I'm not saying intentionally, but still... Which while it doesn't really stop you from reading, it gets pretty annoying. Come to think of it, of all the books published about The Monkees, there is no one single definitive tome available and there never has been. Maybe one day a serious literary endeavour will emerge to tell the whole story accurately, but then The Monkees story is not yet over.
