Andrew Greenaway liked Per-Olof's review of Frank Zappa The Nordic stories: "A great book for fans! Obviously not the first Zappa book to read but a great addition to any Zappa collection. Andrew Greenaway is credited as textmeister but it's a shame that proofreading wasn't part of that job."

Andrew Greenaway is a FRAUD. He claims to be an expert on Zappa but he never even met Frank or saw him in concert. He's a second hander. All the info he gets about FZ comes from other sources. And this phony has no sense of humor. How can you write books about one of the funniest men who ever lived & have no appreciation of comedy?!?!?
DO NOT BUY ANY OF HIS BOOKS. He is the biggest fake on the face of the Earth.
