Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction

86 reviews
David Sheff

Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008

An incredible, incredible book
Being that I'm currently going through much the same thing that David Sheff went through--albeit on a smaller scale (if there is such a thing as a "smaller scale" of addiction when your own kid is the addict)--Beautiful Boy made me cry like a baby many, many times. I'm sure if you read it, it will affect you, too. So many of the thoughts the dad has are dead on with what I've experienced over the ...

Playboy Interviews with John Lennon & Yoko Ono: The Final Testament

5 reviews
David Sheff

Berkley, 1982

One of my very favourite books...
I first read this book back in 1983, to gain a little insight of John...and it quickly became my favourite book. Although I don't think Yoko was or is everything he thought, this was a man who truly loved his wife, and believed with his whole heart and soul in their marriage and life together. He was enjoying making music again, so much (this interview was done in September of 1980) and was ...

Perfect for anyone who would consider themself a gamer
I picked this book up at an Electronics Boutique, thinking that it would contain nothing that I didn't know about the history of Nintendo. In fact, I simply planned to use it for my English report, then give it to my little brother. After reading about 5 pages, I was hooked, my head swelling with a plethora of new facts and stories about Nintendo that I never knew existed. This book is so ...

Great info on the Boyz
I had brought this book on my 16th birthday and it will be a present that I will always remember. I have been a Boyz II Men fan since Cooleyhigh and I can proudly say that they gave a lot to their fans by helping to make this book! Buy it!

Game Over: How Nintendo Zapped an American Industry, Captured Your Dollars, and Enslaved Your Children

Random House, 1993

An Nsider Delight
This is ONE book that I just can't get out of my mind! This book is a must get for gamers & Nsiders (The Official On-line Nintendo Club)! Game Over gave a near-perfect insite to Nintendo's beginning of a handfuda card company (Japanese cards), develop into a game / toy company, & eventually entering the Video Game company. David Sheff did an excellent job in writting this book & does go in ...

Cyberactive Media Group, 1999

How the old-school games were played
Oh this book is great. Anyone who grew up in the 80s and took sides in the early video game wars will love the behind-the-scenes look at what was really going on.

All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono

St. Martin's Griffin, 2000

The Walrus and the Carpenter
My favorite Lennon quote comes not from this book, but from the Beatle's set during the Royal Variety Performance for the British Royal Family in 1963: "Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry." I love that, though I've been told you need to be raised in the British class-consciousness to fully appreciate the insolence of ...

Video Games:: A Guide for Savvy Parents

7 reviews
David Sheff

Random House, 1994

Incredibly interesting take on the power of games
Interesting view of video games as they impact individuals and the culture. Unwilling to be hysterical (as it could have been), the book offers wise guidelines. The games are old but the lessons still apply. Nothing better has been written on the psychological and social impact of games even as some people have tried to fuel the hysteria by banning them and imposing the stupid ratings system.

Diane Pub Co, 1993

A Solid Primer on Corporate Warfare - despite the title
An alarmist, almost apocalyptic tone compromises this otherwise well-researched primer on the sudden emergence of a Japanese entertainment company in the early 1990s. Super Mario, Nintendo's mascot, became more familiar to American children in 1990 than Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. Nintendo also dominated the market that holiday season by owning 25 of the top 30 most popular toys sold. American ...

The kind of technological revolution that they led in Silicon Valley is now sweeping through China, but with much more dramatic implications. The dynamic entrepreneurs who are using technology to radically transform business and cultural life in China are fighting not only outdated business models and a tumultuous economy but ...
