Top Book , but you can get it cheaper
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I can't believe this book is so rare or didn't get a deal in the USA . It's the only Oasis book which comes anywhere near to telling the real story although incidents such as Liam singing through the whole set with his back to the audience in an early Manchester Gig at the university's Hop and grape bar don't get a mention . If you are interested in the real author Terry Christian(and you thought paul really wrote it )check out his excellent book about Manchester's Irish community and Manchester United football club , Reds In The Hood.Incidentally it was the T.V show The Word that Terry Christian presented which gave first European TV appearances to Oasis ,Nirvana , Blur , Pulp , Shabba Ranks , the Charlatans , The Pixies and even Snoop Doggy Dogg .Terry's well known as the man in manchester who gave first radio plays to The Stone Roses , Happy Mondays, Charlatans even The Smiths ....
Best oasis book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is the best oasis book i've read by a mile. I'm a fan, so i've read a few, but this is easily the most interesting. Noel, especially, gets a right hard time from his father. Lot's of kids who grew up in council estates can relate to this and other stories. It's good to see a couple of normal geezers doing well for themselves.
The book was TOP!!!!!!

When I got it I couldn't put it down. It tells everything from when they were chlidren to adults. This book is acurate too because it was written by their older brother. It's a bit sad but over all very happy. When they make it and things turn around for them. I would recomend this book to any Oasis fan. It is extememly interesting to read. If you have any questions about this book please email me. I'll write back to you right away.
What can I say? IT'S EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

You don't have to like Oasis to read this book, you just need to be human. I felt identified with many things the author tell; reading this book made me understand that everyone suffers but we need to wait for our reward. It's a great book;there's some comments the author said about himself and his brothers that I don't like, but anyway, everyone knows he wrote this book for money. It's the first book in English that I read completely, from the first to the last page(and don't like to read in English), so tell me if it's not excellent!
Brought Tears To My Eyes!

Its not every day that the Gallaghers past is brought out and exposed, showing exactly WHY they are so crass and rude! with an evil mad man as their dad, its a shock that they turned out the way that they did! One of the best books that IVE ever seen of them and probably will STAY the best!
