Once in a while a rock biography comes along that redefines the genre. "Touching the Magic" is such a book. Lola Cashman is one of the few people ever to have been allowed into the inner sanctum of the U2 entourage. Hired by Bono to completely overhaul the band's image, she gained a fascinating insight into the biggest band in the world. The tales she has to tell will intrigue any of the band's millions of fans - tales of Bono's desperate insecurity about his height, tales of punch-ups with major Hollywood music stars, and of course tales of the music and madness of life on the road with the band.
