Book description
“Halliwell knows what he’s talking about, and writes with real enthusiasm and know-how. . . . Authors of books in which the star subject hasn’t been in direct contact with the writer in interviews, and trying to get to get to the bottom of things face-to-face, really have to know what they’re on about, lest the books become a Hades of hazy speculation and guesswork. Halliwell avoids this problem by truly, relentlessly knowing his stuff. It also helps that he writes in a way that doesn’t hinge on having the reader’s approval, and also that he doesn’t claim to have some kind of mystical truth of the subject that was overlooked by everyone else.”— Juliette Jones“An insightful cultural study of the often-turbulent times in which Young’s artistry evolved. This carefully documented work includes a chronological summary of Young’s life, a discography, a filmography, and an extensive bibliography. Of interest to both fans and scholars.” — Choice jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });

Heaven Sent
Noise reduction and voice tone adjustment are simply amazing. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
