This is an awesome book 104 pages of all Green Day. Being a huge Green Day fan I thouroughly enjoyed this book and didn't put it down until I finished. It's basically all about their lives and a biography of the band. It includes discography, tons of funny and awesome pictures from many concerts, award shows and just photo shoots. In the middle it has a whole section of coloured picturtes. Basically if you love Green Day you will love this book.

This is the ultimate fan must-have (along with all of their music of course). It tells the whole story of the band from the very beginning and is so interesting and good. It's got tons of details and facts and is really enjoyable to read also. It's written really well. It has loads of great quotes from all of the guys, not just Billie Joe. The design is cool with loads of different pictures over the years. I loved it.
This is a great biography!

This is a great biography (as I have said in the title). It includes interviews from various magazines and newspapers and tells a lot of info about the crazy and insane stuff the members have done. It also tells about the members with mini (i guess you could say mini)biographies. Almost each page has a picture of the band and in the middle of the book there is a collage of color pictures of the band. The author even sometimes gives his veiws in a comedic way. It all fits well together. Most of The chapter titles are little spoofs of the song titles from previous albums, which I thought was creative when I first looked in the book. This is a must buy for a fan (if you ask me). Hey, and for those fans who have short attention spans it's a pretty short book.
