 Bye Bye Baby January 22, 2005
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
Sullivan claims to to have slept with a mystery Roller not once but twice. She claims while they were based here in the USA that she was a "tour guide" of sorts to their home. She goes on to further say she had numerous phone conversation with them in their homes and at hotels across the world. She does however prevent herself from being checked by eliminating the name of the Roller. In the end she claims to have met her Roller and Ian Mitchell in a London Pub on a a business lunch. After all this one on one Roller time her Roller asked "Have we met before?" She was so disappointed in him that she replied "No."
I find the story had to believe. How convenient that her friends told her not the use their real names due to embarrassment of the Rollers. Don't waste your money. It a fantasy story of a women who doesn't have a life.
 VERY TRAGIC READING November 23, 2004

I found this Book on a Table outside a Bookstore for $1.99, being a fan of the BCR's, I could not resist picking it up, I knew that it could not be a 'Good Read' for $1.99. I was right, So In Brief, Terrible, Unsophisticated, not at all well written, the Author displays a very 'Unrealistic', story that is very much out of touch with reality itself. I feel Pity for her, it is obvious she was tossed aside, after chasing 'Someone' in the Group, to discover he was not interested in her at all! Not worth the paper it is written on, and Please tell us BCR Fans ...Why is this book still for sale? It's a Major Flop!! I do not know how this book could be compared to the new releases in relation to the BCR's, One in particular touched me deeply in which I purchased this year and is worth every dollar, and is very 'Well Written', I feel Ms Sullivan needs counselling of some sort, most disturbiing..Not worth a penny!

'TACKY', IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT, AS A BCR FAN, I SAY TO MS SULLIVAN
'GET OVER IT', IS IT ANY WONDER THEY WANT TO SUE HER?
SHE OBVIOUSLY DID NOT GET ENOUGH OR EXPECTED TO GO DOWN THE AISLE MORE LIKE IT!! I FOUND THIS BOOK TOTALLY BORING, TACKY AND A PAYBACK TO THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...OUCH!!! SO SAD TOO BAD.

I was never a fan of the Bay City Rollers, but a friend mailed me this book saying that it was a must read. It sat on the coffee table for a few weeks, but once I sat down to start reading it, I couldn't put it down! The writing style sucks you in, almost as if it was a friend casually telling you the story.What is the story? An out of control obsession with the Bay City Rollers, of course! You've got a group of friends who ban together in their love of the Rollers. They trick managers into telling them where the band is staying and airline agents into giving them info on flight times. They call the band members' mothers. They basically do anything they can to see and be near the Rollers. This book is amazing and for anyone who's ever been obsessed with a band - you can either read it and say "yeah, I did stuff like that too" or "at least I wasn't that obsessed!"
A great read for all the"Rollermanics" out there! March 12, 2004

I bought this book and totally loved it! It is so refreshing to read something that comes from the fan perspective. Caroline tells her story very well. Being a "Rollermaniac" myself, I dreamed of running after the Rollers, but unfortunately I never even got to see them live in their short lived careers. Caroline and friends live out every Roller fan's fantasy and that WAS to get physically close to the Rollers! The only thing that the book was missing was some pictures of the Tacky Tartan Tarts(!) and pictures of some of their adventures. I did love the Roller's music however and Derek (sigh:), two things that Caroline does not seem to embrace. Pretty sure that Mr. Roller is Woody, but after what she says in the book about Derek, I thought it would have been hysterical if that would have been her Roller!(He certainly could have been mine!) At any rate, its a good read for any person who considers themselves to be a FANatic!
