Disappointed
I was pretty disappointed in the book. I understand it was an unauthorized biography . I think the author tried to stick to facts but Stevie nicks is a fascinating creature. I came away from the book realizing her life was mostly work and touring. I think the author failed to capture her essence. I read it all the way through but I read most books from beginning to end. The bad ones I don’t. I wouldn’t classify it as bad but I would not recommend it. Not unless you want to know how much time she spent in the studio and touring. If your a total Nicks fan you might be interested in that. I have never been a big fan. For years I liked a few songs she did and thst was it. Yet she always fascinated me and I was drawn to her. I guess I wanted more of an understanding of what made her so fascinating. I don’t think the book did her justiceVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
