(Book). To some; he is the face behind classic Pink Floyd. To others; he is the temperament behind some of the greatest albums of the rock era. And to others still; he is one of the most original songwriters of a generation that overflows with notable talent. To all; he is an enigma: a rock star who not only eschewed stardom but also spent much of his career railing against it. But to call Roger Waters a mass of contradictions is simply taking the easy way out. He is so much more than that. Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall is the first full biography of the author of The Dark Side of the Moon ; Wish You Were Here ; and; of course; The Wall . It traces his life from war-torn suburbia to the multitude of wars he has fought since then with his bandmates; with his audience; and most of all with himself. Packed with insight and exclusive interviews with friends and associates; Roger Waters: The Man Behind the Wall dismantles the wall brick by brick; revealing the man who built it in all his glory.

However; after reading it cover to cover; I was mildly disappointed. She has a quiz for what style you are; and then proceeds to have almost all photographs (however gorgeous) mostly in the mid century modern; or boho style. There isnt much of any of the others. If she is so talented; why cant she feature a cabin in the woods styled up; or a cottage home; or traditional house? Isnt there anything else to decorate with besides books; leather mid century chairs; fig leaf plants; and naked human art?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A book with some great ideas.By CustomerThis helped me a lot when I wanted to redecorate my house. It contains a lot of ideas; some are pretty nice and some are a bit off. There is a variety of color combinations to choose from and kinds of theme you would probably want for your room. The style quiz though; doesnt seem to be helpful at all. Its an okay book for starters.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful book for beginnersBy DaryaWonderful book! I cant get enough of it. It has introduction to styles for beginners like me. No obscure names and unknown words; she explains everything. It also helps you determine your style. Plenty of inspiring photos of interiors with explanations of how it was done. I feel I have a sense of style with it :)
