At first, I thought the book was going to be another regular cash-in. Then I made the connection between the author and that flamer who was here throwing abuse at everyone and came to view it as a hack job on the band. Now, however, I'm starting to view it as some desperate piece of vindictive "fan" fiction.

Seriously, I have read Manics fanfiction where Sean pays a sneaky visit to Richey in his place of hiding (a religious house) to tell him his father had died. Whatever you think of these works, at least they're not pretending to be real and they're not written by ex-fans to fleece other current fans.

And all this stuff about the Israeli Kibbutz, mysterious women dropping into the hotel room, a marriage proposal to a woman Richey admitted he only kissed once etc, etc. It seems like pure fiction. Especially that verbatim conversation he was supposed to have had with Vivian. And the band knowing all along where he is? Yeah, pure fanfiction.
