I tried. I really freaking tried, but Harris' "everything is just a MAJOR DISASTER or a WONDERFUL LOVE STORY" style of writing is simply awful.

Seriously, if I read the phrase "the man I love" in relation to Buckingham one more time, I was going to puke. This is less a memoir of herself with Buckingham, and more a badly-written romance novel in the shape of a memoir.

Awful. Save your time and money.

It’s hard to read bad things about people you admire, and I’m a huge Lindsey Buckingham fan. That hasn’t changed after reading this excellent book by LB’s ex-girlfriend, but I did feel immense sympathy for her. Nobody should endure an abusive relationship for one day, never mind several years.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though, and it’s not all about Ms Harris’s relationship with LB. We have insights regarding what goes on behind the scenes in Fleetwood Mac’s world, as well as stories about those who come into contact with FM’s orbit. The author recalls as many humorous anecdotes as she does depressing ones.

It’s arguable, of course, as to how much someone can recall in detail when writing of events a couple of decades into the past – particularly when larges amounts of cocaine were being consumed. I’d certainly like to know how the band feel about this biography, especially LB.

Of the five band members, only John McVie is portrayed in a good light. That’s not to say the author continually bad-mouths the others – she often praises Stevie Nicks & Mick Fleetwood – but I can’t imagine they’d be too pleased with some of the revelations.

It's a risky thing to write biographies on living people, so I have to admire the author for writing this book that could've angered or embarrassed a fair few individuals. ( )

If you are a big Lindsey Buckingham fan, then this is the book for you. If you are a fan of any of the other band members, this is NOT the book for you. The author of this book paints Stevie Nicks as a unfeeling wired airhead. Granted, these were the times in which heavy alcohol and cocaine were in use, but she is constantly griping on Nicks. The other three members, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie are characterized as a well oiled money making rock-n-roll band. Buckingham on the other hand, is everything everyone isn't in the most positive way. I am sure there is some truth to this memoir, but it seems very one sided. ( )

The writing is not brilliant but the inside view of life on the road with Fleetwood Mac is eye popping stuff. Diehard Mac fans are of the opinion that the revelations contained herein are probably pretty accurate. A "must-read" for anybody who bought "Rumours". ( )
