Negative Positive
Title: horrendous
Review: i've read a few of the other 33 1/3 books and found them to be consistently good reads, but this one was unbearable. i've tried on three separate occasions to get through it and fail more miserably with each attempt. the writing is impenetrable, the organization arbitrary. perhaps it would be useful as an academic tome on advanced songwriting, but the author tries harder to impress the reader with his knowledge of obscure details than to explain how they serve the songs.even the fracas between elvis and bonnie bramlett and the damage that did to the potential for the album becomes dull in this authors hands.i was hoping for a quick, interesting book about a good record by one of my fave musicians. guess i'll keep looking.
Is the review positive or negative?
