Dio Rainbow in the dark. L'autobiografia

3.5 stars.

Three Stars This is the first time I read a book via audio book. Based on my experience, I definitely prefer reading on my kindle. I found more opportunities for my mind to wander and less impulse to rewind when I possibly missed some words. I can be a slow reader, and if I've got other pressing thin Leggi tutto

I'm a Dio fan for sure, but there was more I didn't know about Ronnie James Dio than I knew, until I read this book.

"Сиела") и под звуците на парчета като “Sacred Heart” и “Sunset Superman”, от своите спомени се прехвърлих към тези на Рони Джеймс Дио. Имах чувството, че не държа книга в ръце, а стоя някъде с добър приятел и си говорим за Leggi tutto

Right. I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. Nearly ten years, to be precise. Why so long, you ask? Apparently, Wendy Dio has taken quite a while coming to terms with the death of her former husband and co-author. Still, it’s been well worth the wait. The consummate skills of Mick Wall have bee Leggi tutto
