Freebirds: The Lynyrd Skynyrd Story

Rating:
Summary: Not a very good book.
Review: This book may please casual fans or beginners to the Southern Rock genre. It's poorly written and hardly offers any insight to Lynyrd Skynyrd. There are a lot of errors and gaps, which will leave you with more questions about this band than before reading it. No extensive discography (I'm still wondering about the exact order of Muscle Shoals material) or any revelations concerning releases or the band and its members. Feels like a lot of gossip and hearsay. Definitely not satisfying. One star is for doing a book on Southern Rock.

Summary: A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SKYNYRD FAN!
Review: This is a greatly indept book that was highly researched. Although some events in the book may sound questionable, Marley Brant clearly states that he took all sides of the stories and put them in there. This book is so direct that it actualy stired up some bad blood with the band today. The book tells the story of the band from its days as One Percent to the rebirth of the band after the plane crash. Along with being a great read it is also accompied with alot of rare photos. CLEARLY A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SKYNYRD FAN!

Summary: DREADFUL Writing ruins what should be an important book
Review: This is the only book I've ever taken back to the store because the writing wasn't good enough to be read -- no exaggeration, this reads like a sixth-grader wrote it; it's awful. Somebody should devote some quality time to the history behind Skynyrd -- they're critically important, and deserve the attention. They most certainly deserve more than this crummy book offers.
