As a fan of Fleetwood Mac, I really enjoyed the inside look at the band from a founding member. Mick Fleetwood takes us from his days as a boy, the discovery of a love for drums, to the modern day. He discusses and takes the reader through all the different interactions that the band had during it's long history. He touches on all the different emotions and relationships that shaped the modern (and most famous) version of the band. It was nice to see him give a lot of credit to Chris McVie and Lindsey Buckingham as the main song writers. Most fans and readers would know about Stevie Nicks and her significance to the band but it was nice for him to recognize the others. Just as a side note as a fellow musician, I've always thought that John McVie was unrecognized as the high level bass player that he is.
Overall, really enjoyed the book and it was nice to relive some of the memories that the book brought back for me. Especially the L.A. scene in the 70's and early 80's.

I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan and love (auto)biographies of musicians. This book was just so beautifully and well written. As soon as I started readibg I was not able to put this book down and I still re-read it from time to time. I could literally feel the love he feels for all these people pouring out of his words. Just absolutely amazing and beautiful.

Really interesting. I really liked the way it was written. The conversational style is wonderful. I remember some of the rumors and the music. It was a welcome reminder of those times.
