0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SurprisingBy Verbena ReverbSurprisingly Fabulous. Who is this writer? Excellent view into one of the first real alternative artists, Lou Reed. Interestingly, he actually comes off as quite ill mentally. Spiritually confused or maimed, you could say. Yet a phenomenal artist, so surprisingly delicate at times, so brutal most of the time. Complicated man, excellent biographer.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Reed this Lou book.By Shamea C.I wasn't born during the 1970s...but it's greatly appreciated that Lou Reed's legacy still lives on. I bought the full e-book soon after because I wanted to learn more about someone I deeply admire. Reed has shaped everything from how I write, and then some. ROCK IN POWER, LOU REED!8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. A Bit of a Rehash and a Final CodaBy CkayI read this Lou Reed bio by Bockris when it first came out in the 90's. Reed absolutely hated it, probably because it cut close to the bone and forced issues he didn't want revealed then as he was self positioned as a middle aged normal average guy. Bockris was a Warhol insider, so betrayal was the worst of capital offenses et al. Now that the master of street idiom has passed through fire to his next plane, Bockris has updated the original, fleshed out and amended the older information and taken it up to and including Lou's passing. I've followed the Velvet's story and Reed's solo career for over 40 years, and for the most part, when this read sticks to events and interviews it is enlightening for the fan. Probably too hairy for the casual weekender on his own though, and makes proof that Lou Reed was an emotionally stunted insecure prick. No new revelations there. Where Bockris loses me is when he extrapolated the last 10 years of /Lou Reed as letters to each other. Only partially, as Reed mixed autobiography with fiction throughout his career. For instance, I'm pretty sure that a good part of Reed's Ecstasy addressed the failed marriage to Sylvia Morales (she wanted kids, the arrested adolescent Reed obviously did not- songsBaton Rouge Tatters) and not the relationship with Anderson. That came with Set The Twilight Reeling, which dealt with the ups and downs, the separations due to tours, his need to become "the newfound man, and set the twilight reeling". No matter, Bockris is sympathetic, a long time fan, and curates the 50 year roller coaster of The Imp of the Perverse in fair detail. I just read a blog post released today by Lou's sister Merrill (nee Elizabeth Reed) that clears up the details surrounding Lou's teenage electro shock treatments (brutal), and that he most definitely suffered early on. She tells for the first time in her words a very humanizing, touching, sad family story that solidifies my long standing belief that there was a lifetime of fragility about Lou Reed, much of it hides below the rage in his music. His family loved him, they didn't abandon him. At any rate, he stood for those who had no voice, the disenfranchised, those desperate at end, and I miss his presence in the world. Like Warhol in art, it will take a while for people to figure it out just how rare a musical literary genius he was.

‘A triumph’ - Time OutTransformer is the only complete and comprehensive telling of the Lou Reed story.Legendary songwriter and guitarist Lou Reed passed away on the 27th October 2013, but his musical influence is assured.

Transformer is based on Lou’s collaborations with the hardest and most romantic artists of his times, from , Andy Warhol, and , through David Bowie, Robert Wilson, Laurie Anderson and the ghost of Edgar Alan Poe. Rippling underneath everything he did are Lou’s relationships with his various muses, from his college sweetheart to his three wives (and one drag queen).Leading Lou Reed biographer, Victor Bockris - who knew Lou throughout the Rachel Years, from Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal to the Bells - updates his original biography in the wake of Lou’s death.
