Reviews

Peter Dogett's book is a fascinating, rip-roaring and timely re-telling of a corner of music history that was hugely important but is all too often forgotten. The rehabilitation of Crosby, Stills and Nash's reputation (and of Young's contributions here) is long overdue

—— Frank Turner

Engaging… [Doggett] use[s] the saga of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a metaphor for the Woodstock generation and their doomed mission to return to the garden

—— Will Hodgkinson , The Times, *Book of the Week*

[A] meticulous chronicle of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young… Doggett carefully charts the stalled sessions and schemes caused by this alpha-male jostling… For fans who want detailed chronology, it will be a joy, but Doggett’s book is also a deft portrait of a golden age tarnishing even as the band sang

—— Victoria Segal , Sunday Times

Especially good on the musicians early lives and early Seventies peak

—— Choice

Doggett… presents a solid, steady, evenhanded portrait. He loves the music without being slavish, and pays each of the musicians their due

—— Anthony Quinn , Mail on Sunday

Exhaustively researched… If you think you know the history of CSN&Y then read this and, like me, you will be surprised at what you learn

—— Tom Povey , RNR

Doggett…treasure[s] the band’s early oeuvre and writes with empathy about the group

—— Holly George-Warren , Times Literary Supplement

The Wham! star charts his treasured friendship with George Michael, from their meeting at school in 1975 to George's untimely death in 2016. The duo left a legacy of pop classics from the exuberant Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go to the evergreen Last Christmas, and Ridgeley's enthusiasm for life in a chart-topping band is as infectious as their music

—— Daily Mirror

This book is all you could want and more!

—— Magic Book Club

I couldn't put it down. Such a fantastic book

—— Chris Evans, Virgin Radio

A great story

—— Saturday Live, Radio 4

A lovely book. A love letter to George

—— Graham Norton, BBC1

A touching and vivid nostalgia trip - with great photos

—— Best

Top 50 gift picks for the book lovers in your life

—— The Herald

A fond look back at the Wham! star's life in the group that helped define Eighties pop

—— Choice Magazine

Will no doubt appeal to the fanbase . . . Humorous and touching

—— Times Literary Supplement

Joyful nostalgia

—— Daily Express

As a hard-nosed ex-detective, it was a source of much hilarity that I am such a Wham! fan but my copy of this is a prized possession

—— Peter Bleksley

One of the most interesting feminist voices in popular culture

—— The Pool
