''Stranger Than Fiction: The Life And Times Of Split Enz'' ([[Name's the Same|no relation]] to the Will Ferell [[Stranger Than Fiction|movie]]) is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Mike Chunn ('semi' as Chunn left the band [[The Pete Best|before their third album]]) detailing the [[Exactly What It Says
Chronicling their beginnings from an Auckland flat (and even further back in the case of the Finn and Chunn brothers) to their final (non-reunion) concert and even [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue|beyond]], the original book is now long out of print but with the author's permission can now be read online [http://www.book.russells.id.au/ here].

* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]] - Neil Finn never originally thought much of ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkPaj0ttjbc I Got You]''. arguably the Enz's [[Signature Song]].
* [[Meaningful Rename]] - The Enz all adopting their middle names as their stage names, except Phil, which Chunn suggests may have been a sign of his discomfort within the band. Also changing the band's name from 'Ends' to 'En''z''' for patriotic reasons.
* [[
* [[Non Fiction Literature]]
* [[Only Sane Man]] - Nigel Griggs' (Mike Chunn's replacement) first reaction upon meeting the band (due to not being completely informed), though he adjusted.
Line 61:

* [[The Smurfette Principle]] - Raewyn Turner (resident lighting expert) to the rest of the band. Later joined by Liz and Sharon, though none of them were technically members of the core band.
* [[Stalker
* [[Starving Artist]] - The Enz quickly fell into this after first coming to Australia.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]] - How the Enz felt after their first two performances up against teenagers (their third performance thankfully went over much better). Arguably the Finn brothers themselves back in the day.
