review 1: This book was well thought out. I didn't care so much for the first part and the only reason is that I was never into those bands. When Soundgarden showed up I couldn't put it down. Every listener was effected by these bands but for a guy like me that worshiped them as a teenager, it's a jewel to have the lives of these bands come to life by their own words. The part with Layne Staleys mother Nancy is more than the music. It's about true life. It doesn't get much better.
review 2: An excellent look at the grunge scene with interviews from all the major surviving players besides Chris Cornell. Kot brings the Seattle scene to life, and shows what it was like beyond the mainstream media's co-op of flannel.The book is written as a serious of quotes with little e... morexposition, which might take some getting used to for some readers, but the interviews, for the most part, are interesting enough to carry the book. less
