Title: The historical-fiction account of the Beasties sounds right
Review: This book, though apparently well researched and full of first hand accounts is nothing of the sort. As a B-Boys fan since the early 80s in NYC, I was surprised that this book so generalized the era and relied almost solely on interviews from the early and mid-90s. Though a fan, I find it very hard after seeing them that the opinions expressed on L to Ill were a joke and meant to be completely taken as such. This book is ill researched propaganda for the now regretful band to cover up their old ways. The author, who is British, had a pretty poor grasp on the impacts and feelings on this side of the Atlantic.
Is the review positive or negative?
