Reviews

Really more of a three-paragraph thesis style paper than a biography - but still the best Prince book I've read. Toure supports his thesis with quotes from friends/family/acquaintances and with lyrical analysis. While it's not beautifully written, the subject and how it was presented were interesting enough to keep me interested.
