Entertaining and short, but I feel like quite a few of the anecdotes should be taken with a grain of salt.

I was confused why the book explains when Syd and David Gilmour first met, but made it seem as if he only met Roger Waters much later. You'd think his relationship to the band members would be relevant, but seeing as the book only thanked David Gilmour, I'm assuming he actually talked to the author. Still, this read more like a long article than a full biography of any sort.

A quite short - but informative - biography on Syd Barrett and the beginning of Pink Floyd. It was good, but had quite a lot of information about random people in it.
