In the Pleasure Groove: Love, Death & Duran Duran

Author: John Taylor
Stars: 5
Review by: Shapoppa

I've been a Duran Duran fan since my teenage years, though I mostly preferred Simon Le Bon over John Taylor. I saw this book on the North Branch shelf and thought it would be a nostalgic read. It didn't disappoint. It's a very interesting personal story of the self-indulgent world of an 80s rock star in an iconic band. I enjoyed this book much more than I had expected to. It's an authentic look at the rise and fall of a rock star, his honest take on who he was compared to who he is now, and that special time in the 1980s when the world was far more optimistic.
