I Would Die 4 U

by Toure

Drawing on new research and enlivened by author Touré's unique pop-cultural fluency, I would die 4 u relies on interviews with Prince's band members, former girlfriends, musicologists, and even Bible scholars to deconstruct the artist's life and work.--Publisher's description.

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.
