What fun! I've always loved Stevie Nicks, and was fortunate enough to be in my 20's when her and Fleetwood Mac's greatest hits emerged. I can honestly say, however, that I knew very little about her as a person, or of her and Buckingham's tempestuous relationship. This book provided an inside look into one of rock and roll's most enduring bands, and I was spell-bound. Highly recommended.

I adore Stevie Nicks. I have always wanted to "be" Stevie Nicks. We were lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac during their world tour and the girl's still got it. Reading this bio was a joy and the best I've read about the icon, Ms. Nicks. I found it to be insightful and fair, and beautifully written.

This is a re-release of a book from a few years ago. I received it from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
I have always been enthralled, "bewitched", and fascinated by Stevie Nicks. From the first time I listened to Fleetwood Mac in the mid-seventies until today. That voice. That music. And, later, when I would see concert clips of them on The Midnight Special and other shows, the pure enchantment of watching Stevie perform. And, later, to actually seeing them perform in concert in person. It would just fill me with a sense of wonder.
And the rumors. Of the drug use. Of the drama. Of the in-fighting. What to believe?
Well, it's pretty much all laid bare in this book. I found that I just could not put it down. And it left me, at age 57, still feeling the same way about Stevie Nicks as I did when I was a teenager. Fascinating!

This was an informative, interesting, and thorough biography of Stevie, and even though (as someone else pointed out) most of the material is taken from interviews throughout the years, I admire the amount of research that was done. True fans will no doubt know most of what is in this book, but for a casual fan (like me), there was much new information and a few "rumors" I had heard were either confirmed or debunked. What was especially enjoyable was the background of many songs and how they were written along with inside information of how they were recorded. The tumultuous relationship between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie is also well chronicled. I came out both admiring Stevie's talent and genius and feeling a little chagrined at her self-involvement.

Until Stevie writes her own memoir (and she admits if she does it won't be until everyone is too old to care, or--as I heard--Lindsey Buckingham is gone from this world--), this will have to do.
