Customer Reviews

A Quick Read

You can pretty much read his in one afternoon. The style of writing is essentially oral history. You also get some great British slang thrown in. All in all, a bit choppy, but worth the effort due to no real literary competitors.

bodyguard

Alf Weaver tells it like it is. No bull****, no boring stories, but ballsy writing and a whole bunch of stuff about all your favourite rock 'n' roll stars.

minder

Lots of former friends of the stars write kiss and tells, but forget about the kissing and the telling. Weaver ain't one of them. He's got the juice on everyone from Frank Sinatra to The Beatles and also a lot of interesting stuff about The Monkees, Led Zeppelin and all the great bands from the 60s and 70s.
