Reviews"Neil Diamond is Forever... And With Good Reason" "There's a very spirited argument running through my head as to whether Neil Diamond is Forever should be published as a book critique or a music review. This beautiful hardbound monster of a book came in the customary brown mailing envelope and the moment it emerged from hiding, music began flowing through my head. Music more clear than any CD could possibly produce and more vivid than any photograph or painting. From the moment you open this volume until hours after its last page is viewed, Neil Diamond's music will flow flawlessly through your mind… "As each page turns you find a new image of a career that has spanned decades - and deservedly so. It's a book that has to be read twice because you don't want words to distract from the beautifully reproduced images and the music that can't leave your mind. "I'll read it after I check out more of the pictures," you'll tell yourself. Fat chance… "And the story of a young delivery boy who made it good in the big city, and then the country, and then the world goes on from there, but it's the pictures that make this book a worthy addition to any Neil Diamond fan's collection. "Jon Bream has done a great job of building this 8.5 x 11 inch hardbound collection and it is a testament to just how well the author knows his subject. Within its 160 pages you'll find 225 huge color and 81 black & white photos leaving you with the impression that there can't possibly be a single photo of Neil that isn't contained in this volume. The story of Neil's life and career is inspiring and noteworthy because of its many triumphs and its longevity…I highly recommend this book and it holds an honored place on my shelf." - Blog Critics "This book is a must-have for all serious Neil Diamond fans. Not only is it collector's item quality, it is loaded with never-before-seen photos of Neil and other memorabilia. The author provides a fair, accurate and meaningful tribute to the artist who has earned the adoration of life-long fans worldwide, much of which comes from the author's own interviews with Neil. It was a delightful and entertaining read, and a charming view of a career that has enjoyed exceeding success. "The parts I loved the most were the quotes from Neil, the posters from Japan and Thailand, and the layout of the the memorabilia and quotes from Neil's peers. I caught myself laughing out loud at some of Neil's quotes. He DOES, after all, have a magnificent way with words, does he not? "Rating for this book: . . . A+ . . . definitely a must-have for serious fans." - I Am, I Said (Neil Diamond Message Board), Dallas Observer http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2009/12/literary_christmas_bonus_music.php Like the artist himself, even the title of this biography is overblown. And at only 160 pages, this volume could hardly be called definitive. But author Jon Bream does a good job summarizing Diamond's continued mass appeal over that span. And with a bevy of high quality photos included within, this quick study is the perfect bathroom book for dads around the globe., "Neil Diamond is Forever...
