I was originally contacted by the author for a request to review in providing an honest account of what I've read and I'm so glad he reached out as I accepted the request immediately without a moments hesitation.
This book will make you forget that it's truly a work of fiction as it's so reality driven, so thoughtful, so thorough in its concepts and ideas, so believable in the interviews that I truly never read anything quite like this before and it was truly captivating.
It begins with a brief intro into the life and times of a famous pop rock musician in the late 50's known as Scowl.
Scowl is quite the character coming across as both moody, harsh, abrasive, and yet brutally honest.
He's the type of fella that feels women swoon all over him yet he has such a hard decision in who to choose for his own personal liking and needs.
He's married with kids and ultimately divorces before trying to settle his wild oats.
He's a man seeking redemption but also fame and fortune while being true to self with all his flaws displayed openly for the world.
Like him or hate him he truly doesn't care and will often burst out of interviews asking questions of the interviewee in this case a journalist who takes on this massive challenge.
What a ride!
Thank you to Mark Lages for contacting me through Goodreads and his publisher Author House for this amazing personal copy in exchange for this honest review.
