Book Reviews of The Gospel according to Bruce Springsteen: Rock and Redemption, from Asbury Park to Magic (Gospel According To...)
Book Review: Well-intentioned, but lightweight
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a pretty lightweight analysis of the deeper themes of Bruce Springsteen's songs. His exploration of the songs would seem to be on par with an average college essay. Some of the song discussions are only a sentence or two long, and many times the author fails to go in-depth in his interpretations of the songs. For example, how could someone who writes a book exploring spiritual themes (especially one who is a minister) fail to recognize the symbolism of rebirth through water in "The River"? This will be a disappointing book for anyone who wants more than a Cliff's Notes analysis of Springsteen's works.
