Book Reviews of Shang-A-Lang: Life as an International Pop Idol

Book Review: Must read for Les fans...
Summary: 5 Stars

I was broken up by the initial writings in the book regarding Les's childhood and that of his siblings. It makes me happy I live in the USA. Les was my favorite roller and learning about his ups and downs with Rollermania and Tam Paton was eye opening. I had no idea because after they split up I lost touch with him and the band. I am happy Les is putting his life back together and my heart bleeds for those young boys now men for what they went through in the name of success and the fight over their fortunes so rightfully deserved. They were and always will be my favorite band. I still listen to their cd's in the car and remember the happy times and the way they made me feel 35 years ago! This is a must read for any of Les's fans and I am looking forward to his new book release in 2011. Thank you Les for bringing the light back into my life.

Summary of Shang-A-Lang: Life as an International Pop Idol

The roller-coaster rise to stardom of Les McKeown, who transformed the Bay City Rollers from a one-hit-wonder boy-band into a super-group, and his subsequent descent into near destitution after quitting the band. It is a remarkable story of extremes, and a no-holds barred account of Rollermania.
