Wouldn't It Be Nice - My Own Story

______________________ ''The great rock ''n'' roll book'' - NME ______________________ THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE CREATIVE GENIUS BEHIND THE BEACH BOYS Brian Wilson was the creative genius behind The Beach Boys. He turned a suburban California garage into a group that took the world by storm with his songs, the sound capturing the laid-back, sunny Southern California lifestyle. But the cheerful image belied what was really going on. Wilson''s autobiography describes his 20-year nightmare of drug addiction, alcoholism, obesity and mental illness. He spent three years alone in his room. He lost his family, and he nearly lost his life. It is a frank discussion of what destroyed his life and of the controversial forces which helped to save it.
