Publisher; The Robson Press

Author; Andersen, C.

Title; Mick The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger

'"The Stones are iconic figures in Western society," said Sting, echoing the sentiments of millions.' " (Anderson)

What I noticed most about this book is not the satanic, antics of the subject but an absence of sensitivity, or something like that. The book is mostly about dollars and dolor!

     Anderson, the biographer, must have been hard pressed, to write about a group like, The Rolling Stones. They could hardly be located by him, in a cosy background and the lack of setting, produces a shifty, threadbare effect, to my mind.

    In Mick's own words,

  "Personally," Jagger sniffed, "I think it's really quite tedious raking over the past. Mostly, people only do it for the money  " (Anderson)
