Customer Reviews

Excellent all-round review of Neil's career and music

I have loved Neil's music since buying 'Everybody Knows this is Nowhere'. For some years I knew very little about him so I was really knocked out when David's book appeared. It kept me in my seat for a whole weekend (well virtually) and I still go back to it. Yes there are other good books out there, but this is a really good basic guide to the man and his works.
