Book Reviews of Smile: The Story of Brian Wilson's Lost Masterpiece
Book Review: Another wasted opportunity
Summary: 1 Stars
The book doesn't match the hype. That's all you need to know. OK, so the researching is sloppy as is the editing and fact-checking, and the much-vaunted Smile section is revealed to be nothing more than suppositions and theories masquerading as facts - and it's not just me saying this, but the prime editor on a Beach Boys message board. If you've got Priore's Dumb Angel Gazette #2, then you know what he's saying, and has been saying for nearly 20 years, never mind that just about all of his theories have been disproven. If you're a BB/BW fan, then you'll probably buy this book anyway. Otherwise, don't bother.
