I'm resurrecting this old thread because I'm new and just finished reading Storms
Sorry to be so behind the band wagon....!
I found the book to be entertaining, though I thought the level of detail in Carol's direct quotes from 40 years ago was laughably impossible... though, I actually do not dislike her after reading her book (I actually rather like her more than I thought I would!).
One thing I wanted to comment on is that I don't think she took cheap shots at Stevie much at all. There were a few moments (the birthday comment, for one), but on the whole, I thought she actually praised her frequently and also stood up for her creative prowess during the scene when Lindsey ripped apart Storms (the song) during the Tusk sessions. Just my feeling from the read.
It does paint quite the complex picture of Lindsey...
Again, sorry to bring this back up 3 years later, but I felt compelled to chat about the book with others who have read it since I just finished it
