A great compilation of all things Oasis. I appreciated the scope of this book and the range of people it managed to include who were associated or involved with Oasis from their formation, to the end, and back for their revival coming this June. My biggest issue with the book was that it made for quite a dry. It could be a slog to get through at times, I think this would be best to read slowly, but given personal time constraints I had to get through this as soon as I could. The format could’ve been more engaging, like more pictures for instance. There are a few pictures included at the very end of the book but I think it would’ve been better to have them sprinkled through where relevant, just to liven the book up a little and separate big blocks of text.

My favourite section of the book was the chapter(s) chronicling What’s The Story (Morning Glory)?, it’s my favourite album so of course I was the most engaged with that part! I imagine most readers will be looking forward to their favourite album’s section in here and mine certainly didn’t disappoint.

I do think this is worth the read for any Oasis fan, new or old, but I recommend taking your time with it.

A big thank you to the publisher for the e-arc!

I’ve always liked Oasis but admit I don’t know a lot about them aside from their most popular songs and a few albums I bought when I was young. With the tour coming up that I excitedly have tickets for I thought it would be good to get some background knowledge and learn more.

This book was really well written and I loved how it was set out with a list at the beginning of all the characters that were involved in the Oasis journey. As the book progressed it was good to read sections from different people and to hear their points of view.

I really enjoyed the book and I definitely learned lots of new facts. The discography and filmography at the back of the books were also great and I am looking forward to the return of Oasis.

Thanks to NetGalley, Richard Bowes and Pen and Sword for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
