review 1: This collection is excellent. I don't know how I missed this guy. His essays were so interesting - obviously written with someone who has passion about what he's writing about, also the passion for discovering and learning more - or every possible thing - about the subject.I don't think I've sat down and taken NOTES on a book (for further reading) since . . . never.One of the best of 2014.
review 2: I had more fun reading this than I've had reading anything all year. And on the strength of more than half the essays (On This Rock, Mr. Lytle, The Final Comeback of Axl Rose, Peyton's Place, Unknown Bards, the Last Wailer), I want to give it five stars. The work is so impressively original. No one else thinks up the connections he makes. But there were just too man... morey duds for this to be a perfect book. That's fine. I fully support his trying everything he wants to try because sometimes it is just so awesome. But I personally never want to read him writing about government or the environment again. And I want to forget I ever read Violence of the Lambs. less
