Editorial Reviews

Review

"A literary greatest hits A fascinating, rip-roaring examination Depressing, uplifting, heartbreaking and hilarious, this should be required reading." -- Philadelphia Weekly, 05/24/06

"Kent matters because he wrote about rock better than anyone before or since." -- Tony Parsons, The Daily Telegraph

"No writer was closer to punk...Shows Kent's wider fascination with fragile psyches [and] fearsome egos." -- Blender, October 2006
