it's a brilliant book. definitely one of the best i've read on the music business and i have read a great plenty. i couldn't put it down, the style is flawless. when he is funny he is so funny he had me giggling and laughing out loud on the train almost every day en route to work, thus making strangers look at me weird. futhermore, i feel like i learned a ton about how music business works. and i feel like i was there with him. the only think i regret is - having finished it. the end is cruel and hard, and very real.it is a hard crash onto the cold ground of reality and it broke my heart. nevertheless this is a beautifully crafted book that i want everyone who has ever cared about music to read. i love it from the bottom of my heart.   hide
