Book Reviews of Roadshow: Landscape With Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle
Book Review: Another Great Book by the Professor
Summary: 4 Stars
For those rare views of behind the scenes info about Rush this is a must read. I have read the others, and enjoyed this one the best. There were some reviews complaining about his beliefs, or his religious preferences, however, I think his opinions are just that...his and shouldnt be criticized. Just because he mentions the "Church Signs" doesnt mean he's insulting you for reading / believing them, or for you faith, it's merely an opinion. Great book, great price, you will enjoy it even if your not a rush fan.Book Review: Landscape With Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle

Neil Peart is a witty, comical writer who gives you a chuckle on every adventurous day of his tour with Rush.Book Review: A must for Rush / Neil Peart fans
Summary: 4 Stars
This is Neil's most engaging and entertaining book to date. He gets much more in depth about his life as a musician and all it entails. For a drummer (insert bad drummer joke here!) he is a great writer. It's interesting to read the history & motivation behind Rush's lyrics, straight from the horse's mouth. Highly enjoyable, as far as this Rush fan is concerned. I would even recommend it to those not familiar with Rush & Neil, if they want to see what the life of a normal guy who tours the country on a motorcycle, who just happens to be a rock star is all about.
Keep writing Neil!
Book Review: Research needed
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book just as much as loved The Masked Rider. The only thing that bothered me was the mention of Dimebag Daryl and his tragic demise.
The incident happened in Columbus, Ohio at the Alrosa Villa. One of my best friends was at the event that night and saw it all.
My friend and I are strong followers of RUSH and Neil's books. Since his brother Danny lives in Central Ohio area, you would assume that he would know where that tragedy happened.
I really enjoyed the way he had described his surroundings, bringing the picture to the mind and allowing you to feel as if you were there right along with him.
I will bother him for an autograph now that I know to send the item to the venue before the event, not to follow him down the road.
All in all, great reading and a lot of giggles.
Book Review: Another great story from a great story teller
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say?? I really enjoy reading Neil Peart's books. He's a brilliant man and a really great story-teller, and he gets better with each work. I live in Nashville, and it was fun reading his impressions about the kick-off city and his bus driver, Dave. The one thing I had to chuckle at was his mention of a bike ride once to Nashville's Parthenon and referring to it in the same context as great American oddities like the Cadillac Ranch and others. The structure is the only full scale replica in the world of the original Parthenon, and was an anchor of the 1896 World's Fair held here in town. It is now a beautiful Art Museum and the center-piece of the Centennial Park in the West End section of Nashville. It makes about as much sense as referring to the Hirschorn or Guggenheim museums in the same context as the Cadillac Ranch. I realize that Neal views most Americans as one step removed from the Neanderthal (and for about 90% of the U.S., he's right), but please.......some cities ARE committed to cultural development.
Anyway, great book, buy it, read it!
