This sweeping adventure into the life of one of the oddest creators of the 20th Century is a brilliant read inside the mind of a man who kept the world at arms length while creating infinite worlds in his music and other avenues of art. There is some information and times in his life that I wish Spitz would have spent more time on (only one page is devoted to Bowie’s infamous Nazi salute and fascination with fascism, which is skimmed and needs to be addressed more thoroughly), but overall the book is an exciting read and has made me fall in love with both the very human David, and the stellar creationist, Bowie.
