Book Reviews of The Eagles: Flying High

Book Review: If you like The Eagles..............
Summary: 3 Stars

The Eagles, Flying High, is a short but insightful look at the group in all its glory and shame. Mostly the glory. It includes several quotes from the members, which is surprising, considering their reaction to other "tell-alls." They obviously knew that this would not be a negative report, considering her other work. However, even with the lack of great detail, and the presence of some inaccuracies, her inferences are interesting and not far off the mark.

Summary of The Eagles: Flying High

The Eagles have enjoyed colossal success spanning three decades. They are a remarkable mesh of lyrical and musical talent, twined with an explosive blend of personalities. They are a group of individually diverse and vivid characters - something which played a crucial part in propelling them to global success but has also led to bitter personality clashes, paranoia and tension, leaving them at bitter odds with one another, burned out and depressed at the start of the 1980s. The Eagles have one of the most fascinating sex, drugs and rock and roll stories that there is. At their decadent height, they enjoyed an insatiable appetite for drugs and groupies, and threw some of the wildest parties in the business. Laura Jackson follows their fascinating story from the early '70s when they established an immediately identifiable sound that was unique to them, through their career and personal highs and lows, to their break up in 1982 and their eventual reform in 1994. The Eagles: Flying High provides a definitive insight into one of the best selling bands in recording history.
