Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: It's not that bad.... I swear!

i saw a lot of negative reviews for this book but its actually not as harsh as you'd think. it does start off with the last dark days of Dennis Wilson (and it is a rough ride) and that might've turned off a lot of casual readers who werent ready for it, but that doesnt make it any less valid. Gaines interviewed pretty much everyone remotely connected to the band and Brian (including various ex-wives, etc) And he's put together a well written book detailing the bands rise and various fall's. Only real complaint: not nearly enough discussion of the music itself, (entire albums are ignored). And there are some glaring errors (music quotes botched) Still it's a good read.
