This book is an unashamed celebration of the landmark album Slippery When Wet; Bon Jovi s most successful album to date, with sales of over 28 million copies since its 1986 release, and one of the most toe-tappingly gleeful albums to ever ring out from a pair of speakers. Everyone knows the rock classics "Livin On A Prayer" or "You Give Love A Bad Name," but there isn t a bum track on the record.
This is more than a making of type book, because to put Slippery When Wet into context you need to understand what came before and after. It is also a handy fans guide to the band's career with a track by track review, current thoughts on the album from top rock writers, plus bits and pieces that relate directly (or indirectly) to the legacy of a record which spent eight straight weeks at the top of the Billboard charts.
