| カスタマーレビュー: Great read! (2008-09-18) I'm a styx fan. I am a music fan overall. My taste goes from Yes to The Beatles to so Styx (surprise!) to Fleetwood Mac to John Denver to America to Asia to April Wine to Rush to XTC to Kate Bush etc... I think this book is very well built. I say "built", because it's mostly a bunch of interviews sorted in chronogical order and in context. Which is totally great, since you got to know the band through all the people that worked with them. I somehow think that not enough time is spent on the music and that too much time is spent on the people, but... All in all, a great read... Fascinating Book! (2008-08-04) I've been a Styx fan back in the late seventies early eighties and then I've lost track on any of the band's activities. I was then able to see a show during their European tour in 2005 here where I live in Switzerland. I didn't know about the change in the lineup and I absolutely had no clue about the band's internal problems. I was just happy to see them again after so many years and I was more than impressed with their preformance.Just now I've been able to read "The Grand Delusion" and I found this book absolutely brilliant! Even though English is not my mother tongue, it only took me two nights to read the whole book. As an "outside" fan from far away, I would say that the author of this book was able to present the two sides of the story without taking one's side. Well done! And from my point of view as a fan, I am looking forward to any future Styx Show in Europe as well as looking forward to Dennis' upcoming concerts in Germany at the end of this year. I just simply love Styx' music! Styx Story (2008-06-10) As a fan since 1972 i thought I knew it all about Styx. The personal interviews with the managers and roadies and such enlightened me with alot more of the story. I enjoyed learning so much about my Favorite band. I still favor the A&M years of Styx but all of the catalog is quite enjoyable. My Thanks to the Author for all his hard work and efforts he put forth for OUR enjoyment. I can't wait for the next book he puts forth. A GREAT Read for the Styx Fans we all are !!!! Fascinating (2008-04-14) I read this book in a matter of hours, and it's not a short book, but it was so interesting I could not put it down. It was very in-depth and straightforward, and answered a lot of questions I had about the band. Certain interviewees had their biases, but overall I thought it was very fair. Loved it.The Best Rock Bio I've Ever Read!!! (2008-03-02) Sterling is one talented writer. I've read A LOT of Rock Bio's over the years covering evryone from The Beatles to Queen to Zeppelin to Bowie to the Monkees and this one tops them all. I COULD NOT put this book down. Sterling tells the back story to everything we ever expected with the Band STYX, and the book goes thru the Highs and Lows to the end of the show....The Joy, the Sorrow, the Tragic,...yet ALWAYS COMPELLING. It's sad that Styx just didn't understand how to enjoy their success when they had it, and Heart Breaking to know that the Talented Classic Lineup will never create another classic album simply because of unyielding Egos, Closed Minds & Stubborness. Perhaps their heads are in too far a different space to create another classic, But it would've been awesome to see them try. They've all had various degrees of success on their own and with the "NEW STYX", But it's obvious that the sum of the parts, or the chemistry, is much greater than the individual, no matter WHO wrote most of the hits. And Lastly, somebody PLEASE tell the wives that they aren't actually IN THE BAND!
