Miller profiles each member of the band and chronicles the difficult times all five endured as children in Britain during World War II. Special attention is given to their early school days and their successes and failures. The author points up how they all became passionate fans of American blues music sung by Muddy Waters and others. The fact that they are the longest-sustained band, from their formation in 1963 right up to today, more than 40 years later, can be attributed to several factors. They responded to the rebellious times of the 1960s with their music, lyrics, and stage antics. A refreshing final chapter describes the outside interests of each band member-Keith Richards as a movie actor, Mike Jagger as a movie producer, Charlie Watts as a jazz musician, and Ronnie Wood as a gallery artist. Brian Jones died, probably by suicide, after a lifetime of fighting psychological problems. Readers will welcome the attractive graphics and photographs throughout the book. Extensive chapter notes and back matter serve as valuable tools when researching the Greatest Rock Band. , School Library Journal December 2010
