When Giants Walked the Earth
''When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin'' is a book written by Mick Wall, published in 2008. It is a biography of the English rock band Led Zeppelin.〔Rick Moody, "(Led Zeppelin, Gods of Rock on the Celestial Staircase )" ''New York Times'', December 24, 2009.〕
The book tells the life stories of the band's members. The narrative of Led Zeppelin is told through a mixture of prose and interview excerpts. It was based partly on interviews which were conducted by Wall with all the surviving members of the band.〔David Cheal, '(When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin by Mick Wall )', ''Telegraph.co.uk'', 27 October 2008.〕
== Criticisms ==
Following the release of this publication, former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page reportedly threatened to sue its author over the book's contents.〔'(Meticulously researched account of the world of Led Zeppelin )', ''The Sunday Mercury'', November 22, 2008.〕 According to Page:
Wall’s just writing a book designed to cash in on something he didn’t have anything to do with. He wasn’t a creative force in Led Zep. I’m at something of a disadvantage because I haven’t chosen to read that book, but I hear it’s totally distorted from people who do know about Led Zeppelin.〔James Jackson, (Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin's good times, bad times and reunion rumours ), ''The Times'', January 8, 2010 .〕
In addition to a complete lack of citations throughout, Wall’s book was also criticized for its liberal use of italicized internal monologue sections, where Wall pretends he knows what a band member is thinking by retelling a story in a second-person narrative.
