Book Reviews of Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey
Book Review: A Must If You Love The Band
Summary: 5 Stars
Since this is the most widely known (and so far that I've seen, best) Floyd book, I've decided to review it. Well it's a great book, but not quite perfect. It was published in 1991, so obviously it's a little out of date, but it is still a must-have. It tells nearly everything up to that point, including a lot about Syd, if you're into that. In my opinion, it says a little too much about Syd, nearly half the book is about him in fact. However, if you like him then obviously that's good for you. There are several useful appendixes after the biography is over, a list of setlists, singles, albums, etc., which is cool. The biography part is great too, telling in good detail how the albums were made, and gives a lot of useful information on how Syd and Roger left the band, The Wall movie, and the various lawsuits. This is one that even if you never read, you have to get if you like Pink Floyd. It's a must-buy.
