Product Description
Library Journal, January 2000
A wise drummer (Clem Burke of Blondie) once said, "The ultimate fan transcends fandom and does it himself." Although Beeaff, a freelance writer living in Tucson, AZ, has not founded a band in her heroes' names, she has provided an earnest, perceptive account of the Irish supergroup's last four tours, in diary form. Unlike Bill Flanagan's U2 At the End of the World and Carter Alan's U2: the Road to Pop, in which the authors enjoyed backstage/VIP status, Beeaff relates getting crushed in crowds, listening to soundchecks, dining at Denny's, waiting like a monk in the rain for autographs, admiring lead singer Bono's bonhomie (she meets him more than once), feeling Edge's "Bullet the Blue Sky" guitar solo snap her heartstrings again and again, and anticipating U2's next gestalt. Other fans will get vicarious kicks out of Beeaff's multiple pilgrimages to Dublin, the band's hometown. Recommended.

Midwest Book Review, September 1999
A candid, uncompromising account which captures the essence of U2 from a fan's perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read for any fan of U2, 26 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Only a fan can fully understand and express what U2 and their music are all about. Dianne Beeaff is both a fan and a writer, and her book captures the essence of the band in a musical journey through ten years. We travel with her, sharing her experiences, the countries she visits, and the people she meets along the way. Full of vitality, humor and music, A Grand Madness is a must for any U2 fan.
