The Definitive Biography

Billy Joel

Melissa Schwartz

Really enjoyed this, got a little wordy at times but otherwise a great insight into his life

Jay Carter

This book did a nice job of answering the burning questions about Billy Joel's life and career. Like, who was his first wife? Who are these people who ripped him off, the ones he is clearly alluding to in his songs? And, he's so clearly a New York guy, so what is his California story? Every album gets a few pages, so you learn the background of many of his songs. And for history buffs, find out how Joel's family was affected by the Nazis. It's a nice overview for being only 350 pages.
