Query: Flawed but interesting nonetheless

This is McDonough's first major publication and it shows. The book meanders here, there and everywhere but never quite finds it target. Hardcore Neil Young fans will love its wealth of information, but more casual fans will wish that the editor[s] had done their job. Despite nearly 800 pages of text, the author never really seems to understand Young and many of the stories are but endless variations on the same themes.As rock music biographies go, its not bad )this is not a genre known for good writing) but unless you are fascinated by those around Neil Young (about whom the book more revealing than about Young), boredom will set in early.
