Not Enough!!!:
As a die hard Thin Lizzy fan, I felt that this material was only scratching the surface. The author would introduce an idea, give a quote, and that would be it. I kept hoping for more detail. There was quite a bit of information here I didn't know, but it seemed to leave more questions than answers. It would be nice if the author would go back and fill in all the gaps for the 2nd edition. Also, I didn't like the way he put the information. Too many quotes. it reminded me of a "Behind the Music" episode where the narrator, Jim Forbes, would say something and then they would show a clip of the guys giving a quote. Fine for a documentary, but a book should not be written in this way. I kept wishing I had interviewed the band and written a book as I think i could have put it together better than this. If you're a Lizzy fan, sure it will fill in some info (assuming it is correct) but the definitive biography has not been done!! (Maybe I SHOULD interview the fellas and put this together!) However, read Phyllis Lynott's (Phil's Mom) book "My Boy", which is just fantastic! Now if we had a book like that about the entire band.....
