Books, Part 2

The Beach Boys: In Their Own Words (Nick Wise)

Quotes have been well selected, although they aren't coordinated as smoothly as they might have been. (The early days and group origins fall into several sections.) Fans will no doubt race to the feuds between Mike Love and Brian (both of whose words combined constitute 75% of the book). Love on Wilson: 'he's a paranoid schizophrenic and he feels guilty because he cheated me out of millions of dollars and credit for things.' That about says it all."
