Trade Review"...artfully capturesthe various phases of Bowie's ever-shifting stylistic journey. Popoff's descriptions of Bowies accolades and accomplishments at those critical points in his ongoing ascendacy never fail to impress. Ultimately, Bowie at 75 is more than a mere compilation of Bowie at his best. It is, in fact, a work of art grounded in a pop persona whose influence continues to make an indelible impression on modern culture, and is likely to linger for years to come." -- Lee Zimmerman * Goldmine Magazine *
"The pacing of the book is dazzling, swift, and fun. It’s easy to become immersed in the chronological
history, turning page after page. Popoff’s narrative is also well designed for shorter glimpses and return visits." -- Jeff Elbel * Illinois Entertainer *
"The pacing of the book is dazzling, swift, and fun. It’s easy to become immersed in the chronological history, turning page after page." * Big Takeover Magazine *
"...while the book is certainly a celebration of one of the most influential rock and pop artists to come out of the past five decades, Popoff isn’t simply acting as a PR arm for the Bowie estate, also calling out mediocre albums and career missteps over the course of tackling Bowie’s legacy, making for an evenhanded and ultimately much more compelling book." * New Noise Magazine *
"It is one of those books that you cannot put down once you start to read it. I have read a few books in the past on Bowie and many of Martin’s books, I have to say that this is the cream of the crop and by far my favourite book to date on David and my favourite by the author. BOWIE@75 is highly recommended."
