Title: False Advertising
Product review: I have never listened to The Decemberists and now, after reading this book, never will. Thank God I borrowed it from a library rather than plunking down my hard earned cash for it. After reading the installment in their series on In Utero I was shocked - SHOCKED - to be confronted with the self indulgent and lazy prattle in this slim volume. Not only is there precious little about the album (which I thought these books were supposed to focus on the making of), but this autobiography is also peppered with editorial mistakes, e.g., the use of "it's" when "its" would have been correct, describing a car doing a "360" when he actually meant "180" (a mistake that's "Presidential", in the Bush sense). Please, 33-1/3 publishers, exercise a little quality control.
