I’ve always liked Oasis but admit I don’t know a lot about them aside from their most popular songs and a few albums I bought when I was young. With the tour coming up that I excitedly have tickets for I thought it would be good to get some background knowledge and learn more.
This book was really well written and I loved how it was set out with a list at the beginning of all the characters that were involved in the Oasis journey. As the book progressed it was good to read sections from different people and to hear their points of view.
I really enjoyed the book and I definitely learned lots of new facts. The discography and filmography at the back of the books were also great and I am looking forward to the return of Oasis.

Very compelling read! The book follows the death and subsequent trial of his killer, a unique view into the judicial system in the early 1900’s and how things can go very wrong. I really enjoyed the book. It read very well, and kept me interested. The author was able to break down the case, the problems with it and alternative conclusions without the story becoming rote or dry. I appreciated that the case was viewed objectively from both sides, that is if the accused was the killer, and if not. Overall, a very satisfying read, and definitely makes me want to see if the case in reopened!
