Negative Positive
Title: Lists or Opinions?
Review: Looking forward to fun book along the lines of THE BOOK OF LISTS, I instead found myself assaulted by an opinionated trashing of a number of performers, a fawning over P-Funk that takes up three pages, (yes, a great band but George Clinton's names for himself as a list, PLEASE!)This book is far too involved with personal attacks to be interesting. I finished based on the idea that I wanted to see who was going to fall victim to the "critical axe" and at the end found this less than rewarding. Even factual errors like song titles (Zevon's "Carmelita" as Carmelita's Way" or Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" as "There's gonna be a Jailbreak" were distracting. There is also whole chapters dedicated to rap which is interesting concept in this book of Rock lists. I read this type of book for snippets of info and a few laughs but I just found myself annoyed at the end.
Is the review positive or negative?
