What They're Saying
Critics Review
“[Fans] will find Mr. Rea’s detailed and affectionate book an invaluable resource.” – Dave Shiflett * Wall Street Journal *
”[Rea’s] star-struck enthusiasm never wanes…Ozzy & Me is an apt companion to the singer’s recently released posthumous memoir, Last Rites, and an insider’s look at long years of the backstage crazy train.” – Alice Cary * BookPage *
“Rea is a fan’s fan with plenty of stories to share. They’re told with care…there are many behind-the-scenes peeks at how Osbourne concerts used to begin and end, and the massive work that went into a show. Metal fans will appreciate that and they’ll like that Rea shows gratitude for his friendships and the opportunities he had, which is icing on the guitar-shaped cake. To read this book is to turn up the nostalgia to eardrum-splitting levels and remembering. If you’re a fan, snag ‘Ozzy & Me’ because that’s the ticket.” – Terri Schlichenmeyer * Guam Daily Post *
