["Mick Jagger"] is a book less about Jagger than about Jagger's vibes. Man, you're supposed to know something about Jagger before you read this book because if you don't, you're lost. Pasticheur Marks has put together bits of Stones' history, running narratives of the Altamont victim approaching his fate and a Holly Woodlawn type waiting for tickets to the big birthday concert, snippet sketches of the '72 tour, long conversations with one David Dalton about the emerging book to hand…. The result is a Marks creation, not a Jagger revelation. Not a bad creation, but Jagger remains the enigmatic figure he has determinedly molded himself to be and this is not his book. (p. 75)
