Too bland for my diet
The magic generated by revolutions of Rainbow and the aurora of TMIB is either very bland or this "book" misses capitalizing on it. Rainbow is a rock and roll band created by Ritchie Blackmore, who is temperamental bad boy, music perfectionist, and brilliant guitar virtuoso with a very eccentric lifestyle. As a fan, I was let down by this "book" with its quick cut-n-paste job.

Rainbow obituaries or one massive obituray article?
If you are longtime Blackmore fan, then there are no surprises uncovered in this book for you. If you are an aspiring Blackmore fan, websites and USENET newsgroups provide the same information in this book for free.

This book lacks charm, enthusiasm, excitement, insight, and shock. The clinical writing approach scurries the reader through Ritchie's youth, Deep Purple, then into Rainbow's personnel revolving door by weaving historical events with a thread of dull quotes. I found this book akin to reading an article in the local paper about a popular person, who recently passed away. If you enjoy reading the absoluteness of that person's life milestones, then this book may be for you. This book provides an interesting twist to obit-style article format by providing a VH-1-esque "Where Are They Now?" chapter. (Too bad that can't be done for the daily obits!)

This bound pound of paper contains eight chapters of band member roundabout. However, the author seemingly, knowingly attempts to placate the reader with nearly 90 pages of appendices including discography, band equipment, tour info, tour dates, set lists, bootleg lists, website links and fan club info.

BOTTOMLINE:
If you want a page turner, this book is not it.

If you are looking for a Blackmore or Rainbow tell-all with shocking new uncovered details, this book is not it.

If you looking for continuance, quality and class of Chris Charlesworth's masterpiece, this book is not it.

If you are looking for a manual to your Rainbow CD and bootleg collection, this book is it.

Very Informative
I happen to disagree with that other review of this book. I found it to be very informative about the band Rainbow. Stories about how the band was formed, how songs came to be composed, why people came and left and other stories (like many "pranks" Blackmore would play on other band members, most notably Tony Carey). Most of the websites I went to that he mention often tell inaccurate information. If you like Rainbow BUY THE BOOK !!
