PEARL JAM AND EDDIE VEDDER: None Too Fragile Paperback – November 17, 2015

I was excited to get this and start reading - hopefully find some insight into some things that I didn't previously know about one of favorite bands. Unfortunately, however, this book was little more than regurgitated facts easily found on the internet and quotes from other articles. I picked up a few unknown tidbits here and there, but nothing extraordinary. The author took a rather detached stance and didn't really ever allow the reader to know whether or not he actually LIKED Pearl Jam. The drummer history and early band history were both fairly interesting, but you can find out everything in those sections over at lukin.com. The most fun part of reading the book was coming across references to specific shows, then running to my bootleg folder to listen to the show. It's always cool to have some background to put the thing you're listening to in perspective. Except that, even this, is easily available on the web at Five Horizons. It's a decent "refresher-course", but I was looking for something that, when I was done, would make me want other people to read it. When I finished this, I was, instead, just rather ho-hum about the whole thing.but... PEARL JAM ROCKS

Half way thru good read so far. Im a fan and it has my attention

Loved his history and pictures

Nice

I purchased this book for a friend- who is a HUGE Pearl Jam fan. He has not read it yet but has skimmed through- he did comment that the pics of Vedder and of the band are great. If you are a Pearl Jam fan- I recommend this book for your collection, if you like Pearl Jam and don't know a lot about Vedder or the bands history- I would recommend it to get some details.

This book very much deserves the 'and Eddie Vedder' in the title, it sorta portrays him as a tortured genius. Not saying he doesnt deserve to be spoken of but the other members hardly get a mention. Mike, for example, is given a single paragraph to talk about years of serious drug addiction. The events are all quite well informing, definately worth a read, just don't end up martyring Eddie...

My holiday read. Good, well written. Not too heavy, an easy read about a big hero of mine.

Bought as a present - Cant really review - recipient very happy thou.

brilliant service , will use again

a pretty good read if you havent read any other books about Vedder. worth the read and would recommend it
