Title: Interesting concept, but mercilessly padded
Review: I was given the book for free by a friend. It was a worthwhile read, but the problem with the book is that it's an extraordinarily fast read--I got through it in about an hour. It's effectively a newspaper feature article on the subject, packed out to book length and packaging with a few gimmicky graphics tricks--and six pages of songwriter credits--that pad out additional pages. It also presumes that everyone reading the book is familiar with every song--which may or may not be the case.
