Chronicle Toward Books Like Hell
Technically this is a novel. About a guy and his punk band. Who start out shitty, but persevere, and eventually become pretty popular. If I mentioned that Ben Foster is better known as Ben Weasel from Screeching Weasel, you'll get a much more nuanced idea about what this book is about, and certainly, what this novel MIGHT be based upon. Regardless, it's a great, rollicking read. Whether or not it's entirely true, or entirely false, anyone with any knowledge of 90s punk in America will recognise large chunks of this. And anyone with any interest in, appreciation of, or experience of being in a band, breaking up with a girl, or punk rock, will thoroughly enjoy. It's that good. Though why he had to kill off his guitarist and best friend at the end I'll leave to his shrink to fathom...

Uhhhm, I only rate this so high because of bias, I'm sure.Apparently Ben Weasel likes the Blackhawks; and hockey was televised in Chicago at one point in time.this is ben weasel from screeching weasel's foray into literature. its pretty decent all in all. the story is hackneyed in a lot of its concepts. this is definitely nothing new or really all that inventive, but still a cool read. if you're a fan of screeching weasel than i suggest reading this book.
I felt this book was a terrible read. The writing felt amateurish. I think, because of who Ben Weasel is, name recognition is the only reason for this books existence. If anyone else had written this, it would not have been published. The poorly written sex scenes were not worth reading, and I guess that goes for the rest of the book as well.

My all-time favorite musician, Ben Weasel, writes a book. Think Charles Bukowski, in punk rock band, writing about being in a punk rock band. Not bad.
This book is a lot more fun if you are drinking warm beer, listening to old records. Trust me.
Entertaining book! Ben Foster is too much of a self-righteous A-hole to take as a real author. If you are a Weasel fan it is a must read.
