Five Against One The Pearl Jam Story

"The singer dominates this book as he dominates his band. "Intense is a word that invariably surfaces when people talk about Eddie," notes Neely. Bitter, paranoid and self-obsessed spring to mind, too. Much of the bitterness stemmed from Vedder's upbringing, to which he'd allude obliquely in interviews as hellishly dysfunctional--Neely, a Rolling Stone journalist, investigates it thoroughly in this sympathetic but far from sycophantic book, down to interviewing his estranged stepfather and examining divorce papers....An insightful, excellently written biography."Neely, Kim is the author of 'Five Against One The Pearl Jam Story' with ISBN 9780140276428 and ISBN 0140276424.
