Auch wenn ich nicht alle von Bowies Büchern auf meine eigene Liste setzen würde, hat mir dieses Buch einen völlig neuen Blick auf ihn eröffnet. Ich bin schon lange Bowie Fan aber meine Begeisterung ist noch gestiegen seit ich weiß das er mit einer mobilen Bibliothek gereist ist. Egal auf welcher Wolke er jetzt auch hockt, ich hoffe er hat dort ausreichend Lesestoff dabei.
3.5
Mir hat gefallen, dass es zu den ausgewählten Büchern von Bowies Liste noch weitere Lesetipps und auch Musiktipps gab. Die einzelnen Ausführungen zu den 100 Büchern waren mir mitunter aber zu langwierig und ausschweifend, sodass es relativ überladen wirkte. Weniger Seiten und dafür prägnatere Texte hätte es auch getan. An sich sehr nett aber mit vielen Längen.
