Review:
A proper, no-holds-barred romp through the life and times of the greatest US rock band to surf the planet. -- Neil Norman, Daily Express
There's a strong case for Love being the Beach Boys' most reliable narrator. And given that the story involves Charles Manson, Leonard Bernstein, Republican fund-raisers, parental abuse, mental illness and a cataclysmic fall from grace, as well as some of the greatest music of the twentieth century, it's a story well worth reading. -- Bob Stanley, Guardian
[Love is] good company and disarmingly gracious . . . The Beach Boys' story is one we'll never tire of, and from this angle it's less black and white than some observers would have us believe. -- Duncan Fletcher, Shindig
