 Best Music Book of the Decade October 6, 2008
What a fantastic book! And talk about a trip down memory lane. These are the women that I came of age with and I was so glad that I was able to re-live those times again because of Sheila's book.
Thanks so much for allowing me to return to my youth and experience its joys through your words and their music - I hope Carole, Carly & Joni realize what a wonderful gift they brought to us.
Wonderful....now, go buy their music....
Cheers

 Giftee very disappointed October 6, 2008
I sent this as a gift to a young woman of the appropriate generation who always adored the very girls like them. She was extremely disappointed and felt that the author was not at all a girl like them and didn't begin to understand either the music or the entire generation.
The Lives Behind the Lyrics October 5, 2008
Girls like us told me about the personal lives that fueled the music of my generation's youth. I was fascinated with every page and thought how these women turned their romances and disappointments into the greatest hits of several decades. It was lively, timely and even caused me to go back and buy some cd's so I could listen to the songs that Weller wrote about. It proved the old feminist maxim of the '70's that The Personal Is Political. I would recommend this book to anyone who has loved and lost and listened to it all through music. JW
A walk down memory lane September 30, 2008
The most wonderful part of this book was the opportunity I had to relive some of my youth. As I turned each page, memories of days gone by would come back to me. Perhaps because of the written word, the reference to a particular song, place or event. It was a joy but alas, I have no desire to relive again.
