The Rod Stewart Companion

Rating:
Summary: This is merely a collection of fan stories
Review: Okay for starters, the author did not write this book. He edited it. The majority of the people who wrote it (some of whom are my friends) are not professional writers and though a few of the stories are interesting, many already appeared in SMILER, the Rod Stewart fan club magazine. And the "interview" with Rod's sister is about two pages long and couldn't have taken more than three minutes to conduct. There are better books on Rod; this is merely a way for fans to see their name (including MINE!) in this book!

Rating:
Summary: 5 Stars for ALL Rod Fans
Review: The Rod Stewart Companion is a definite must for any Rod fan. It is not your typical unauthorized biography of a legendary performer. Ed Wincensten has added an exciting twist for fans new and old alike. The book shares fan stories, small reviews and a compilation of other exciting material. It is apparent that Wincensten has gone to great lengths to research the material to provide accurate information. The book appeals to a variety of audiences, and doesn't lose the reader in complicated words. The layout combines the photos and stories in an appealing manner. It is an excellent coffee table book that will promise to stimulate conversation at any ocassion. It is a book for all dedicated fans, especially for those who would like to relate and share with others.
