## Description

Buy Shooting Star: The Definitive Story of Elliott Smith by Rees, Paul (ISBN: 9781788705844) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Beautifully written - A great insight with lots of detail and definitely worth a read! It also gives both sides of the story, yes it’s sad, but there are glimmers of light amongst the sadness.
Review: Deppressing - The narrative seems to be completely focused upon Elliott's psychological state and addictions. I've been a fan of his music for 20 years and was excited to read this. In the end I got about 80% in and had to put it down as it put me in a really dark place. I'm not sure of the writer's intention but to call it a 'Definitive' account is a misnomer. What is missing from this account is a deep analysis of Smiths songs, his craft, his gift for melody and his singular recording / composing genius. The Beatles, Dylan, Neil Young and Brian Wilson have all been awarded this yet Smith still remains this uber-tragic figure. Yes he had deep issues that corroded his talent and ultimately shortened his life but when I listen to his recording they transcend this darkness. I implore anyone to simply listen to the music instead.
