Not so good.......2007-10-17
I was somewhat disappointed in this addition to the original book. It was just the quotes of the scripture from the original text. If I wanted additional information of what I read , I would have looked it up myself. It, to me, was a waste of my money.
Outstanding delivery of the message!.......2007-09-24
IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE THE VERY NEXT THING ONE READS AS SOON AS FINISHED READING THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE. NOTHING SHORT OF AWESOME & LIFE-CHANGING. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE I MEET TO READ IT.
Spiritual vitamins.......2007-06-30
I am still reading this book. When ever I need a word of encouragement or just something to remind me of the love of God. I pick it up. This is not a replacement for the Bible. It is a good accompaniment.
Perfect Gift.......2007-02-19
Someone gave this little book to me on my birthday in December. It's got brief, inspiring segments, perfect to leave in the WC. I love it so much, I bought several to have on hand as gifts. I have given one away so far to a friend for her birthday. This friend (a not-yet-believer) was very grateful and told me that she had memorized one of the verses. She is giving a copy to her sister. The beat goes on.
excellent.......2006-03-14
The book was very informative and actually I am still in the process of reading through it. I intend to continue shopping for more products through amazon.

Big talk about little book.......2006-10-24
I really did not like the way he used so many bible translations, most all scripture was way off what king james version says. It sounds good, until you compair with a very reliable and correct version. For instance on page 237 it sounds very uplifting, but very misleading (to the point of being false doctrine). Its says "Impulsive, weak-willed Peter became "a rock" Matthew 16:18). This totally turned my stomach and made me want to throw out this false doctrine. In the bible (KJV) Jesus said "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." This does not mean anything close to what is said on page 237. Christ was saying he will build his church in which Jesus Christ is the cornerstone; not Peter the little pebble. Hence the meaning of "The Church of Christ" and "Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you." Romans 16:16. Also in this whole review "2 timothy 3:16" comes into play.

Customer Reviews:
classic rock'n'roll writing for intelligent fans.......2006-02-10
this book is wild, right up there with victor bockris's books on lou reed and patti smith. joe ambrose has taken the bull by the horns and made a serious effort to understand iggy pop, career druf fiend, enthusiastic pro-Regagan Republican, and the maker of some of the finest ever punk rock records. as a lifelong fan of the Igster i was taken aback by some of the less acceptable facts in this elegantly written book but i was still glad to know those facts. i know joe ambrose and regard him as being a generally good and reliable writer with three great novels out. this stuf the drainpipe guy is saying is just sour grapes because joe has some negative things to say about iggy. disfunctional middle aged men like to idolise people like iggy or keith richards but gimmer danger is aimed at the more intelligent readers, interested in culture as much as they're interested in apocryphal tales of on the road excess and "important" ten minute guitar solos.
Not "The Story of Iggy" but a critical take..........2005-12-11
...and a rather sad one at that. The other reviewers with low rankings have it pretty much correct. Nothing wrong with a critical view on a subject at book length, but to mix a lot of interesting history with comments like Patti Smith and Iggy Pop throwing away songs that were better than Kurt Cobain's best is almost enough to make one stop reading (but that's 25 pages from the end, so let's perserve on, shall we?). Somebody needs to do this right, but ya know? Just listen to first three Stooges records and ignore books like this or the "autobiography".
Joey can't write! Blah-Blah-Blah!.......2005-09-07
Generally, the best rock music biographies are written by fans: writers who display an obvious enthusiasm and respect for their subjects, while pointing out their shortcomings. Well, Joe Ambrose admits in his foreword to "Gimme Danger" that he is not an Iggy Pop fan, before laying out his claim that, for most of his career, Iggy has gone corporate and betrayed some kind of authentic (and ill-defined) rock ideal, and that he is really not the relevant and legendary figure he appears to be: an assessment that taints this smug, self-satisfied "biography" for several hundred pages. Ambrose is hell-bent on depicting Iggy Pop as a poseur and as a disloyal, misogynist, fascist, sell-out jerk: a drug-addicted sleazeball first, and a mildly influential singer second. Along the way, Ambrose takes so many cheap and nasty shots at David Bowie that you can't help but wonder when his anti-Thin White Duke tome is due for release (anyone who thinks Bowie's reputation is now "a shadow of its former self" and that Bowie "never strayed far from British pop" shouldn't be allowed to write books about rock music, period). For a writer who purports to be operating from a position of informed rock purism, Ambrose has staggeringly little to say about Iggy Pop's music: He rates highly the albums Iggy made with James Williamson, and several other albums since, but dismisses the majority of Iggy's efforts as either "mediocre" or "overestimated" (the latter is the word he uses to describe masterpieces like "Fun House" and "The Idiot"). Ambrose's opinion would probably mean something if he at least created the ILLUSION that he's listened to Iggy's stuff. Seriously, folks: Ambrose spends an average of a few sentences, and occasionally a lean paragraph, on most of Iggy's albums, and says borderline nil about Iggy's music/lyrics - preferring instead to pore luridly over Iggy's sexual escapades and drug misadventures, like a tabloid writer in heat. Yeah, Iggy's a fabulous lyricist and people love his music, but why bother writing about THAT when you've got pages to fill with Iggy being hoisted up by Elton John in a gorilla costume? Or compressing the entire 1990-2001 period of Iggy's career into one skimpy chapter, including pages of unnecessary attention to the movie "Velvet Goldmine"? Ambrose pompously chastises Iggy without adequate explanation; he says practically nothing about Iggy's relationship with his son Eric; he doesn't think it's important to mention that Iggy was the valedictorian of his class at school; and he conveniently leaves out any material that contradicts his one-eyed take on Iggy (he claims Iggy was disdainful of the bands that emerged from the Punk Rock explosion, yet doesn't use anything from Iggy's famous 1977 interview on Canadian TV that shows an opinion to the contrary; he writes off Iggy's movie acting and choices of film, yet neglects to mention that Iggy starred in a Jim Jarmusch short film that won a prize at Cannes in 1993, etc). Ambrose shows no sympathy or understanding towards Iggy's addictions and genuine mental problems in the 70s; he completely downplays Iggy's boundless sense of fun and irony and self-deprecation; he takes everything Iggy's ever said at face value (his "support" for Ronald Reagan, etc) and basically has nothing to support his smugly iconoclastic claims besides half-truths and his own lame opinions. I don't object to this book because I am a fan of Iggy Pop and David Bowie, and Ambrose is not. I object to this book because it's so poorly constructed: most of the interview material from key players is lifted verbatim in huge chunks from previously published sources (other books; magazine articles; online interviews, etc) and lazily assembled with scant regard for even basic journalistic professionalism. This book reads like it was written in a week. It's also riddled with outrageous opinions and flights of fancy on Ambrose's part, as well as reams of non-truths and factual inaccuracies which expose Ambrose as a dilettante with no sense of fluidity or research ("Real Wild Child" was originally a hit by Johnny O'Keefe, NOT Jerry Allison of The Crickets; Kurt Cobain didn't die in 1993; David Bowie NEVER duetted live with Iggy in 1977, etc...Ambrose even gets Iggy's real name wrong in the first chapter!). This is an amateur book and it's baffling how it got published; unfortunately, since there's a distinct lack of Iggy Pop material in bookstores, people wanting to know more about the Ig will gravitate towards this dreck. Joe Ambrose helpfully, and perhaps naïvely, provides his e-mail address in this book. I don't see the point in airing my grievances with him in private; I think I'd be of more use here, advising everyone to keep their money away from this odious, slapdash exposé. Ironically, Joe Ambrose continually accuses Iggy of whoring himself out for cash - yet "Gimme Danger" is a shoddy, mediocre attempt to blatantly denigrate a popular name and make money for an abrasive "writer" with delusions of self-importance and an obvious lack of aesthetics and literary skill. Thankfully, "Gimme Danger" undermines itself by its appalling wrong-headedness and sheer mediocrity. This book should be junked - it is an insult to Iggy Pop, Iggy's fans, and the entire biographical profession, and Joe Ambrose is a vile, unprofessional hack who should lower himself to dirt.
An expertly researched account.......2004-12-09
Gimme Danger: The Story Of Iggy Pop is the definitive biography of the "Godfather of Punk" Iggy Pop, perhaps best known for his outrageous stunts on stage, including self-mutilation. Scrutinizing closely a life that swung the pendulum from self-deprevation to extreme hedonism, Gimme Danger unfolds a potrait of a complex musician and artist whose career has left a permanent mark upon popular culture entertainment to this day. An expertly researched account, detailed to the verge of lurid, and recommended for anyone keenly interested in learning more about this charismatic yet unpredictable figure.
I gave him the beer!.......2003-08-26
Actually, I haven't read this book, but I glanced at it in the bookstore to see how it decribed the Stooges' appearance at Max's Kansas City in August 1973. The Stooges were booked for four straight nights at Max's that summer. The performances started at midnight and cost five bucks. I took the Greyhound bus from Ithaca, New York to the Big Apple to see the Stooges play on the third night. As luck would have it, the show was cancelled because Iggy had rolled around in glass the previous night, thereby requiring stitches. Therefore, the third and fourth night's performances were pushed back a week to allow Iggy to recover. I returned a week later --- again by Greyhound --- for the third night's show, and sat in the second row to the left of the stage. I came back the next night. I arrived at 9 pm and guaranteed myself the best seat in the house. (Seating was not reserved.) While waiting in line, Mickey Ruskin, the owner of Max's, kicked some kid out of line because he said he was "on drugs." A guy behind me in line noted the irony and commented, "Kicked out for drugs from Max's Kansas City!?" Finally we were let in. The stage was upstairs. And there I sat, front row and center, knees rubbing against the tiny stage. Minutes later, James Wlliamson walks on stage with the Asheton brothers, and they kicked into the opening riff of Raw Power. Moments later Iggy comes hopping onto the stage...The show lasted 45 minutes. Iggy spent the evening diving over my head, onto my head, and standing in my lap....Toward the end of the set, I handed Iggy my Miller beer, which he proceeded to pour over his head. Therefore, I give the book 5 stars for decribing this incident on page 150 or so, but I delete one star for the implication that the beer was given to him from a side table when there were no side tables at the show. And in the paperback edition, I hope it has an index with my name in it as the provider of the beer......

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book! Worth Buying!.......2007-03-14
This book is worth every penny! Also the DVD it comes with is very helpful! It shows you how to do Hollywood-style tricks on a budget! I would highly recommend this book!
Starting Line.......2005-09-13
I found the information in this book useful to me as an amateur filmmaker, but I believe that it would be just as useful to a starter. It's has both basic information as well as detailed explanations for the (amateur) teen filmmaker.
Good- For Beginners.......2005-07-25
This book was useful to me, as a teen filmmaker. I marked many pages with information that I could use, ranging from proper script format, to very useful advice on how to keep your project low budget, which is always a challenge. Unfortunately, having already read books and articles on the subject of filmmaking, as well as having made a few of my own short films, I felt that this book was slightly more geared at the amateur with little to no experience, rather than someone who is more familiar with the art of filmmaking. If however, you have found yourself with an excellent idea for a short film, and have no idea how to realize it, then this book is a highly useful resource that can help anyone deliver a low-budget, high-quality masterpiece.
Aimed at Teens just Beginning to do Movies.......2005-02-25
The technology has changed so that producing a movie is not (quite) the daunting task that it once was. Modern cameras and video editing software make the production of a movie far different than it was in the days of film. In fact, the authors recommend that you start with a quite basic camers. They are much easier to use, while the professional level cameras have so many controls and adjustments that using them becomes a task in itself.
The video editing software package that the authors use is based on the Apple computer (don't tell me you're surprised at this), but they also list several packages that run on Windows and which do a perfectly acceptable job of editing.
The CD that comes with the book contains a movie, the script and directors comments on that movie and video clips that you can use for practice editing. There are also several sound files suitable for editing. The demo software included on the disk is mostly Apple oriented.
