In his 2006 review of the book, Jarkko Jokelainen of Helsingin Sanomat wrote, "The book points the finger [for the split with Tarja] most firmly in the direction of Marcelo Cabuli, husband and personal manager of the band's former vocal soloist Tarja Turunen. With every turning page, the charges against the Argentine Cabuli get heavier and heavier. "The portrait of Marcelo Cabuli depicts a money-grasping, less-than-honest, arbitrary, and manipulative manager who was engaged on setting up his wife's solo career and who drove a wedge between her and the other members of the power metal band. "NIGHTWISH's contractual dealings and touring plans became a painful exercise,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, as there was 'a Hispanic in the works' at every turn.       "Against this background, it is somewhat awkward that the defendant himself does not get a hearing in the book,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, even though the other sources close to the band are given full rein to open their hearts and mouths. Not even Tarja Turunen gets to comment on her husband's doings. "It is probable that the decision is the couple's own, but this does not disguise the fact that it is the book's greatest drawback. The author Marko 'Mape' Ollila has sought to be even-handed in his coverage, but in part for the reasons above,China Jerseys, this band-history inevitably becomes a speech on behalf of the male members of the group and other figures in the background. "NIGHTWISH would seem on the basis of this work to have been so divided into two distinct camps that both sides of the story cannot be fitted between the covers of one book."Read the entire review at this location.Bazillion Points Books is offering a free download of "Chapter 5.
