![Mick Jagger | [Philip Norman]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xX-DG3fRL._SL175_.jpg)
"Underwhelming"
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?Some real insights into who Mick Jagger really is ... his psychological make-up ... as opposed to just a rehashing of the historical events in the Stones formative years.
Has Mick Jagger turned you off from other books in this genre?No
What didn’t you like about James Langton’s performance?His posh accent, his tone, and his lack of humor were really grating. He sounds exactly like the stiff British aristocrats to whom the Stones were the antithesis. And worst of all are the moments when he reads out the lyrics in a Stones song or pretends to be Jagger talking. It just hurts the ears.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?Yes, there were some interesting tidbits about Jagger and the Stones. But God only knows if they were true or not.
Any additional comments?The ceaseless references to the "Mars bar" legend are ridiculous. This is Norman's fault, not Langton's, and only reveals the psychological hang-ups of Norman, not Jagger or anyone else.
