This is not only a very informative book about Bono, but also the band U2. I first picked up this book because I wanted to know how the band started, and what there lives were like when they were young. This book told me all of that, and more. Bei9ng a fan of U2, i very much enjoyed reading about there history in this book. However, if you are not a U2 fan, it may not be the book for you. This book explains with alot of detail the entire history of U2, rather than just focusing on Bono. ( )
