Book Reviews of Grit, Noise, and Revolution: The Birth of Detroit Rock 'n' Roll

Book Review: A great term paper, a boring book.
Summary: 3 Stars

My title of this review really says it all. I love so many of the bands written about in this book, but it's just not fun at all to read. That being said, it has tons of really great information and when the when it's the musicians talking, it really is very interesting. I was not surprised that this book took me as long as it did to read (3 weeks), it's just so dull.
