Summary: A Biography? Maybe Not
Review: For those of you thinking this is a biography, it's not. That is it is more a collection of interviews that Trent has done throughout his career. Not that this is bad, if you can put up with "Reznor told Guitar World" or "He pointed out to Musician Magazine" throughout the book. Overall I think it was a good look into the world of Trent Reznor and certainly saves you a lot of money buying the magazines the original interviews are derived from.

Summary: Amazing, Intersting, and Informative.
Review: Highly recommend this book. Very good read, most of the info is from interviews so it is all probably legit. This is definetly a must buy for any NIN fan or anyone period.

Summary: Good summary of existing interviews & articles
Review: Huxley has managed to weed through the dozens of articles and interviews written on NIN and weave them all together to form a coherent history of the band (i.e. Trent Reznor). Although at times falling prey to the use of big words when smaller ones would suffice, he has written a coherent and interesting book that details at least what Trent Reznor wants us to know of him... A very entertaining read.

Rating:
Summary: A good reference for the newer NIN fan
Review: I already knew most of the information in this book. I would recommend it as an introduction to the new fan or for someone who wants to catch up on past interviews with Trent Reznor. There are a few pieces of information that were new to me but if you are already a serious fan, there really isn't nothing new here.

Summary: Trent is God
Review: I realized that Trent Reznor is God 6 years ago when I first heard Broken. It sounds corny... but it changed my life. Reznor is not a musican. He is the only person in this world who knows what the voices in my head say, and he speaks to the voices with his music.

Summary: nin review
Review: I think this book is good, but it could have been a little more detailed- i.e.- most of this book is merely excerpts and quotes from trent himself or from interviews that huxley could get a hold of. I did enjoy it; it has wonderfully deep insights into trents' feelings about everything from rumours about courtney love to his long, painful battle with tvt records, to even how he felt while recording "hurt" for the first time. Good book, but if you arent a MAJOR nin fan like me, its not worth buying.

Rating:
Summary: Relied too much on interview clips
Review: I though this book relied too much on previously published interview segments. I had hoped it would have been a better study of Trent Reznor's career and music. I felt the book only skimmed the surface. Also, I had hoped it would have given more detail about NIN's videos (which I enjoy watching). It was too quick a read.

Rating:
Summary: Or, "An Amalgam of Earlier Articles, Interviews, etc."
Review: I was disappointed in this book; it seemed to quote from nearly every earlier article on, or interview with, Trent/NIN. There were a few tidbits I'd not run across before (but I was unimpressed with those - memories from high school acquaintences, etc.). However, it may be informative to those who haven't been keeping up w/NIN since the early days, and it does attempt to place all the earlier info into a framework. I just felt that too much of the book was derived from others' work (e.g., ROLLING STONE, SPIN), and that it could've used a bit more original material.
