Tori Amos: All These Years: The Authorized Biography Reviews:
Exceptional book 5 Star Review
2006-03-21 - It you are interested in finding out how people surmount all odds to become successful, then read this book. Tori Amos is interesting, deep, thoughtful and an enigma. Lots of photos, too. Worth the read.

Alternate Book Cover 4 Star Review
2006-03-20 - I have this book except Tori is wearing something with spaghetti staps on the cover. I like the book cover that I own better than this one shown on Amazon. This book would be better if the Discography section had photos of album and single covers. I don't really consider myself a Tori fan anymore. Especially since I've never seen her live. And "Strange Little Girls" really annoyed me. The last album I bought was "Scarlet's Walk." It was the Limited Edition that came with all the inexplicable junk (the "polaroids" and lizard pendant). I'm thinking about getting "...For Easy Piano" book though. I have the "Little Earthquakes book and...let's just say I can play the beeline at beginning of "Silent All These Years" and that's it.

From A Tori Fan 4 Star Review
2003-07-20 - A nicely written, brief review of Tori Amos' musical history up until the BFP album. While the biography includes only some Tori quotes and intropective info, it mainly focuses on her life as a mucisian. There are great tid-bits that breifly discribe her brilliance as an amazing human/mucisian, and great pics of her recording for each album. I would reccomend adding this biography to any book collection.

Great pictures but little information on Tori, the person. 4 Star Review
2002-12-29 - I gave this book four stars though I was thoroughly disappointed. It had great color pictures, a tour itinerary, a discography (Up to _Boys for Pele_, the book was published right after that album), and, of course, wonderful "Tori-isms." However, it was painfully obvious that this was an authorized biography. Not that I want 500 pages of pure dirt on Tori, but this was more sanitized than most of her interviews. The hyperbole that Rogers (the author) sprinkles throughout makes you feel she is more a fan than an author. Not that is a bad thing in itself, but it makes you doubt the validity of many recounted episodes (was the show breath-taking or was Rogers' breath taken away?) Also, many facts that Tori fans know off-hand are glossed over. Eric Rosse is referred to as her producer throughout and only once, when Rogers briefly covered the development of _Pele_, did she mention that they "separated." If you aren't a Tori fan, you might think Rogers meant professionally, not personally. This sort of omission made me wonder what else was left out.

So: If you want good pictures and and overview of the nuts and bolts of Tori's rise, then this is great book. But if you want to know more about Tori as a person and her life, then this book doesn't contain anything you don't already know. A must for fans, a good start for new fans, but pass if you want something comprehensive.

Well-written, informative, and a Tori photo treasure-trove 5 Star Review
2002-08-11 - I didn't have very high expectations when I bought this book. Tori Amos is notoriously coy, cryptic, and evasive with interviewers, so I expected a pretty but unenlightening volume riddled with errors (in the tradition of the Tori Amos interview CDs). I was pleasantly surprised. The biography is well-balanced and gives Tori's formative childhood years as much weight as each era of her career. To my surprise, I learned a couple of things I didn't know about Tori. The photographs are beautiful, and what a treat it was to see so many showing young "Myra Ellen" and her family!

The one drawback I can see is that this book was published in 1996, and thus is missing Tori's three most recent albums, as well as her marriage and the birth of her daughter. Perhaps we can hope for an updated edition in the future.
