I loved it and you will too! Amazon Customer I absolutely loved this book. I devoured it in one sitting, barely pausing for anything. I was so fascinated and enthralled because it was fun to consider in retrospect what was happening simultaneously in my own life during that amazing time in the late sixties. I absolutely loved it. I bought a copy to my daughter as well. The author's openness and honesty, the wonderful and transformative energy of the time, and the compelling story of young people connecting during such a significant era all worked together to make a great read.. Fascinating story, not well told. Paul La Rosa If timing were everything, this memoir would be No. 1 on all the bestseller lists, as it was published the week of David Bowie’s unfortunate death and the release of his latest album.Alas, timing is NOT everything.The story of this book is utterly fascinating. It is the untold story—during the Summer of Love (1969)--when 22-year-old David Bowie shacked up with Mary Finnigan, a 29-year-old hippie mom with two young children who had left her uptight husband for Swinging Londontown.At the time, Bowie was about as far removed from his alter ego Ziggy Stardust as Mars is from Earth. He was instead a beautiful, and. guitar chick said I just had a hunch this would be the best book I've ever read on Bowie--and I'm glad I. After reading the first two reviews on Amazon I was skeptical about my decision to purchase this book. However, I just had a hunch this would be the best book I've ever read on Bowie--and I'm glad I was right! Finally we get a personal, firsthand account of the real David Bowie. Also appealing are the times he lived in and the interesting characters that go in and out of his life during this period. If you are looking for a slick biography that heightens the already existing myth of the man-- don't bother. The Bowie you find in these pages is earnest, idealistic, endearing, and real. Many thanks to the author for bringin
