Beastie Boys Book Review: More Than 5 Stars – A Must for Beastie Boys Fans - If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would! This book is amazing. It makes me want to go back to New York and visit some of the places they talk about. Adam H, my biggest crush, writes so much! Very well written. I love all the pictures and the level of detail. I can’t wait to finish reading it. Review: I went from liking the Beastie Boys to becoming a super fan! - When this book came out I already knew that I was going to own it. I am a huge fan of music biographies and I am willing to read just about any of them. I knew this book in particular was going to be special as I wasn't the biggest fan of the Beastie Boys, I respected them as a truly creative force that stood out among the hip hop groups of the early 1980's. I originally picked this up on Audible while I was travelling for work but I went ahead and bought the book as well. Let me say that the audio format is really cool. They have a slew of musicians, actors, friends and the surviving members of the group reading this book. Like their music the book took it's self serious while maintaining the sense of humor that the Beastie Boys were known to have. As biographies go this is just one of the best. It starts at their childhood and takes you on the journey of their ups and downs as musicians. What comes out of this book is an honest reflection of their careers, mistake and creative process. You get stories of them being forced into the party band persona when they were young and their disdain of having that image. How they broke free from that and started to reform their image to become the pioneers of hip hop, social justice and equality. Learning their start as a band to their love of music and their time in the studio had me in awe of the Beastie Boys. My respect for their craft tripled and after I finished the book I sat down with their albums that I blew off years ago and listened with a new found appreciation. This is a great read for the casual to the hardcore fan. It's thoughtful, funny and just an all around engaging read. I see myself revisiting this book later on down the road. This is a great way to close out the career of the Hip-Hop legends! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,970 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #73 in Culinary Biographies & Memoirs #87 in Composer & Musician Biographies #192 in Actor & Entertainer Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (5,260) | | Dimensions | 6.72 x 1.86 x 9.63 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0812995546 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0812995541 | | Item Weight | 3.5 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 590 pages | | Publication date | October 30, 2018 | | Publisher | Random House | ## Images ![Beastie Boys Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815QEROZt9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Than 5 Stars – A Must for Beastie Boys Fans *by D***A on January 31, 2026* If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would!

They refunded my $5.00 extra I had paid when I pre-ordered it without me even asking. Good job Amazon. “And you know he weighs in pretty hefty…” Hefty is a perfect word for this book. More Chicago style pizza than NY. I’ve not read the book except a few pages I’ve skimmed since I got it a couple of hours ago. So my review is on the Book structure and printing…and unfortunately Amazon’s declining care of products it sells. The Book. As said above it’s huge. Not tall or wide but thick. “Ah, like a thick-ass book that's filled with wack rhymes”. Unlike most biographies where there are about 20 pages in the middle devoted to photos, this book has the photos and illustrations are throughout it’s entirety. It resembles a Fanzine more than a book. Plus there are tons of little extras throughout that only Beastie Fans will appreciate. The binding is quality and seems like it will stand the test of time. From what I can tell it has smyth sewn binding which make it lay fairly flat when opened on a table. This is nice because you can actually see the middle parts of this gigantic book. The paper and printing are quality as well. The paper is a non-coated stock (matte) which allows the ink to absorb into the page creating rich deep colors in the photographs. Plus the paper has a nice nostalgic smell. There are a few glossy sections but only used when appropriate, or to break up the pace of the book. Now onto the Amazon not so Prime deal I got on this book. Note: This is just me being picky. But needs to be noted in case others got the same damage on their book and paid more for it. I pre-ordered my book months ago for $35 through Amazon Prime. I now see it’s $30. “Knucklehead deli tried to gyp me on the price” I get it, prices change blah blah blah. I wouldn’t be so upset except that although my book was on my doorstep at 8am this morning which was sofa king Rad to wake up to, it is damage. The top right corner all the way through the pages to the back cover (see photos). I’ve tried to mend it myself the best I can. I’ll probably keep because it’s a waste of natural resources to ship this back because of a bent corner. I know I sound like I’m being silly about this but when it’s delivered damaged (no way this happened in shipping, the box was in perfect shape) and then you see that you could have waited and saved $5…it just gets under the skin. Anyways, if you love the Beasties and have been with them since the 80s like me, or even if you are a newer fan of this millennium…get this book. R.I.P.
