An excellent history * Guardian * A refreshing approach, highlighting oblique connections, odd legacies and echoes. Blake undertakes a thorough journey around Fleetwood Mac and their turbulent personalities. An entertaining unpicking of rocks most tangled webs -- 4 stars * Mojo * The definitive book the Mac story deserves. A wild ride through rock's version of Dynasty. It's a hit from its opening bars to its final refrain * Business Post * 'A highly readable, amusing leftfield approach that goes a long way to redefining the rock biography. Its mixture of deep insight and knowledgeable flippancy could be disastrous in the wrong hands. Blake truly aces it. RC didn't want it to stop 4/5' * Record Collector * 'Music books can come in all shapes and sizes - straight biographies, critical essays, album-by-album guides....the joy of Dreams is that its all of these and more. There's an up close and personal feel to the writing 4/5' * Classic Pop *
