I've been working on this book for months. It's the kind of book that I want to read fast: very fan-based. On the other hand, it's got a lot of meat to it, and it would be best read by having all of U2's CDs at hand (or tracks downloaded) to listen to as Stockman discusses each album and what was going on in the lives of the band members at the time the songs were written.Pretty well-written and -researched if one allows some latitude for fannishness. No one who doesn't like U2 will really care about this book, but it did make me aware of just where they've been coming from for the last 20-plus years.
