Title: A Considerable Disappointment
Review: I understand that marketing strategy is key to the success of any book, but in interviews regarding his biography, Tim Willis has been misleading with respect to his purported "interview " with Syd. I think the intention was to build up suspense, saying that he had interviewed Syd, while In fact, it was no more than a doorstep encounter (borderline harassment) that is already all over the internet. Which brings me to another point : you may read a good 90% of this "book" on the internet as part, or all of, various Syd-related articles, I recognised the descriptions word for word, as I knew I was not reading it for the first time. Worse, Willis goes on to criticise other biographical efforts on Syd by name, it just didn't make me feel right. The rare photos, however, were good, notably courtesy of Lindsay Corner.Shine on for eternity, You Crazy Diamond
