Why read it?
1 author picked Larger Than Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love reading about pop culture history and this was a technicolor burst of educational joy.

As someone with a fascination with fan culture, celebrity culture, and pop music, this book filled in some of the gaps in my knowledge, made me giggle, and brought back memories of my neighbor’s Tiger Beat posters.
From Katta's list on for pop star lovers.
