The Best of Coldplay for Easy Piano: Updated Edition (Easy Piano Personality) Reviews:
Skip the "Easy" version and get the original music 
2009-10-16 - I bought this for my students who are truly beginners so that they would have some goal music. As noted, it is not for beginners. I don't think the time signatures or keys are difficult; the rhythm is difficult because it follows the notes as Chris Martin sings them. This means it's lots of eighth and sixteenth notes and dotted notes and ties. I got A Rush of Blood to the Head at the same time. This original music doesn't have the melody, it is meant to to be played and sung at the same time. It's only slightly more difficult, so I recommend getting A Rush of Blood to the Head instead of this "Easy" piano book. It's more enjoyable to play and sounds better too.
Buy it if you like Coldplay! 
2009-09-07 - Bought this for my son who is a big Coldplay fan and he is really enjoying it. He's an intermediate/advanced piano player and found the songs easy to play and very true
to the actual arrangements of the songs.
Sheet music 
2009-02-26 - Great book for teens. Arrived quickly and in good condition. My 17 year loved it, and its hard to find things he loves!
Not original arangements or really even close
2008-04-06 - I'm surprised that none of the other reviews mentioned the fact that these "arrangements" are very different from the originals. The melody (vocals) is in the right-hand treble clef and simple base notes in the left. These are not really the chords that are played by the band, and it is virtually impossible to sing along with what is written, unless you like singing exactly the same thing your right hand is playing. And there's not enough of a chord in the left hand to fill it out if you just drop the right and sing it. I'm fairly disappointed in this. Maybe if all you're looking for is a similar sounding arrangement and don't plan to sing, then this may be the book for you.
As advertised
2007-03-08 - The music was easy piano by my standards, a quick learn and authentic enough to the true sound of Coldplay as well.
