With the popularity of Guitar Hero, my 9 yr. old has become interested in guitar legends like Hendrix. The book is perfect for kids in that age group. It's not very long, but it is very thorough. The author does talk about his substance problems, so parents should be aware.
Though a little over a hundred pages of biographical detail is intended largely for advanced elementary grade levels, many an adult with a special interest in Jimi Hendrix's rock music will find themselves reading this biography of the musician's short but notable life. From a poor background in a home marked by an alcoholic mother, Hendrix rose to become a star. Jimi Hendrix details his remarkable story and profound influences on American popular music.
I am a great Hendrix fan and have read many books about him. But I like this book because it is easy for kids to read (I have it on the free-read bookshelf in my classroom) and it does not pass judgment on Jimi's lifestyle. It reveals his drug use and other destrcutive tendencies but doesn't judge him. The author relates the story of his life with honesty and compassion. There is a new edition by Rebecca Poole that uses a lot of the material from this original edition, but isn't as accurate.
Delivered in a timely fashion. I'm satisfied.
Doesn't Work at All-On My Mac either System 9 or System 10
I thought this book was very helpful in my everyday life. This book will enforce your mind to think of the capabilities of the guitar. Jimi Hendrix is great and deserves this book about him, that depicts his life story.
Although this is described as Mac compatible, this application requires OS9 which is not well supported by Apple anymore. Trying it on Windows produced mediocre results. Don't waste your money on this! Even when running, it is not effective.
