I agree with all of the above.

I also thought the author didn't do a terribly great job of telling the ABBA story through Gold. She half respected the running order of the CD to do this (which is non-chronological, and ends with "Waterloo", as you know), and half invented her own chronology.

I'm not sure how I would have done this either, it is a tough problem, but I don't think the author cracked it.

I do kinda like the ABBA book in spite of all this. Elisabeth's writing is charming, and she has interesting things to say -- keep in mind I am a very casual ABBA fan.

Yes, it's well written and engaging, and disappointing only because it's the token pop act getting the shaft.

It pretty much put me off pitching anything, which has saved me future disappointments no doubt.
