Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees

Summary: Not complete
Review: I just got this book recently, and I was pretty disappointed with it. Although it's not The Monkees fault, almost every passage in this book has been quoted on one website or another, making almost everything in the book lose it's freshness. Also, the Monkees don't talk about the group's long breaking-up period (from when Peter left in spring, 1969, to when Micky and Davy finally called it quits in 1970) or their lives individually after they broke up and very briefly about their lives before they were picked for the show. Still, the few parts that weren't quoted on websites before are interesting (like the Micky-making-fun-of-Don Kirshner story), and it's charming to read their recollections, particulary Micky's and Peter's. In short, this is a good book, but it's missing some stuff, and don't be surprised if you've read pratically everything in it before.

Summary: Great content, Bad editing!
Review: I recieved this book years ago for a christmas present. I reread it this year for a project I was doing on The Monkees and was appauled by the number of typos I found! There are three pictures missing (it's that blatent that I can tell), repeated sentences, and an entire section where the person who said the quote was credited in the wrong spot.

The content, on the other hand, is excellent. I love how everything in this book is a personal quote. It really helps you get a deeper understanding of each Monkees personality.

To finish this review, This is a great book for a Monkee collector. It has some funny stories and great information. If you can get over the numerous typo's, it should be an enjoyable read.

Summary: Hey, Hey, I loved the Book.
Review: I think this is the best Monkee book I've read so far. It tells the tales in the Monkees' point of view, and the pictures are awseome. Plus they had interviews from people like Peter Noone, Ward Sylvester, Bobby Hart, and others. If you're a Monkee fan I highly suggest it.
