Book Reviews of Lonely Avenue: The Unlikely Life and Times of Doc Pomus

Book Review: Inspiring book
Summary: 5 Stars

Easily the best rock & roll book I ever read. A year ago I didn't know who Pomus was: now he towers above everybody else on the fifties music scene. An interesting read about an extraordinarily courageous and resilient man who managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
