Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis

Rating:
Summary: Literary Classic
Review: Dearest Fan,

I am writing on behalf of my beloved girlfriend who happens to be the second biggest Oasis fan ever. The first, would happen to be, me: Jowy Pettippas!

Anywho, I would just like to say I haven't read a greater book than "Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis" since the literary classic: "Where's Waldo". You know, the one where he goes to Thailand and tracks down those crazy Water Bison traders, only to be attack by a poor misguided group of Tibetan monks and a single camel trader. Now that was a great book.

Anyway, the illustrations were the best part... almost as great as the cover, maybe even the back. I think the best part may have been the pages in between the two. Maybe, or um, definitely maybe the introduction, or like, the conclusion. Hey! I just wrote "Hey!" and that didn't make any sense.

"...and then Zorrack pulled my pants down. There was Jello everywhere, yes, even there."

Yeah, that's what Noel said about the book. I think he's dreamy. Well, almost as dreamy as his brother. Not that one, the other one.

Right, so, yeah. Better than the Koran, almost as good as "The Song of Roland", but not as not gooderest than bettered books. I miss kristina.

Summary: Bloody boring
Review: For a book about a band who wear their excesses on their nostrils, there's very few lurid tales. We get superficial, one-dimensional analysis of their Irish-Mancunian roots, and the story of their childhoods and family backgrounds . We get directionless, frequently irrelevent details. Such as full transcripts of Noel-Liam arguments about nothing. Little morning glory, lots of boring story.....

Summary: The Best Oasis Book Out There
Review: I think of myself as one of the biggest Oasis fans out there and with that i have and have read all the books about the best band today, and Paolo Hewitt gets my thumbs up for this one. He wrote this book form his experiences with Oasis. It goes deep into the lives of the Gallagher brothers and the rest of the band. It goes back to B.O.(Before Oasis) and time leading upto the fame. It deserves more than 5 stars, a Bloody great book.

Summary: Dive into their lives with this book
Review: This is a great book to read if your an oasis fan or not. Its got the best background information as well as the greatest storys told by the band themselves. As soon as I read the intro i feel in love(it explains the mood of 'the masterplan'). Noel gives great insite to the meaning of wonderwall, cast no shadow, and the infamous cigarettes & alcohol. If your a mainstream oasis fan like me, this definetily the book for you. (Paolo is a great writer who never shys to but his emotions into the text as well.) Buy It, and ENJOY!

Summary: The Best Book on The Best Band of the 1990s
Review: This is far and away the finest book written on the best band of the 1990s, Oasis. Hewitt avoids the tabloid-style writing that most publications on the band make use of, and praises the band without sounding like a 14-year-old writing a fan letter. It's a fabulous glimpse into the history and day-to-day lives of Oasis, the Gallagher brothers in particular. The only real downside is that now that the book is a couple years old, it kind of leaves you hanging and wanting more! (The book ends before the band has even recorded "Be Here Now".)

Review: Well, what can I say ? This books tells it all, it's a real pleasure to read the "adventures" of Oasis, it seems like it's a novel...Oasis IS the best band since the Beatles, and this book will tell you why, it's entertaining, never boring, informative, funny...It has it all, brilliant... From their difficult childhood to Top of The Pops, this is the exact story of Oasis, I've never read a book that fast, once you begin reading, you can't stop... If you don't have it yet, go and buy it...

Summary: Oasis Forever
Review: When I first heard about the book I went straight to the bookstores to find it. After I got a copy I was attached to the book about their lifestyles and kind of things they do fun. The fights between Noel and Liam were exciting as the band's get drunk all night until the next dawn. It shows what the band Oasis is about and what happen in their past. Tells through the Gallagher Bros. sadistic lives to their success in the careers with help of friends, family and band members. Follows through band members such as Guigsy, Bonehead, and Alan White lives including producer, manager, and friends such as Johnny Hopkins, Mark Coyley, and Paul Weller as well. This book tells what Oasis is about. Their die-hard habits of partying, drinking, smoking, and shooting up drugs also included in this book. After reading the book, you want to go back for more and makes you want Live Forever. Highly recommended for Oasis fans
