"A rich, racy inside-show-biz story, with enough backstabbing to dye the Borgias' drapes and a madman cast ranging from John Lennon and Lenny Bruce to Sonny Bono... (Ribowsky) springs terrific quotes form Spector's few friends and many foes." Vanity Fair "The virtue of Ribowsky's book is that he brings the story down to earth without sacrificing its drama. Relying on frank and extensive interviews... Ribowsky doesn't shrink from cruelty or even horror, but while in so many biographies the subject's work is obliterated by the facts of the subject's life, here it is the work that gives the life its interest. Ribowsky spends time on details other writers have taken for granted." Greil Marcus"  Be the first to write a customer review
