Prince FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Purple Reign

It's a book about Prince!!!

I never realized that ‘Arthur Lizie’s opinion’ was a frequently asked question about Prince. Besides the inaccuracies, you have to deal with the author's unwarranted opinions throughout. This is the first book I've ever read in the FAQ series, so I don't know if it's common for the author's opinion to appear in the books, but if it is, they have to change the name of this series of books immediately. There are good things about this book, but the problematic aspects of it are too big for me to ignore.

There are many important facts included. The writing could have been better and less repetitive. The book is weighed down by the author's preoccupation with race. Indeed from the very first sentence it begins. He "admits" to being white, and throughout the book he appears to be ashamed of that fact. He especially has little regard for "old white men". I'm not sure that anyone should use such a wide brush in categorizing any group. Seems to do little to inspire racial harmony. This is sad because Prince was ultimately an extremely unifying artist. His FAQ book deserved better.
