Book Reviews of The Answer Is Never: A Skateboarder's History of the World
Book Review: Absolutely Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
The best book I have ever read about skateboarding. None of the BS, namedropping, "my generation," "you owe us," etc you usually find in a book about skateboarding's history and/or skater's memoir. Jocko is a true skater to the bone, nobody special, never pro, never worked in the industry getting rich; Mr Weyland is just a skateboarder who feels he owes more to skateboarding than it owes him (which is extremely rare in today's skate environment). I'm willing to bet if you've skated for more than 10 years and are over 25 (especially over 30) you will love this book. All of my friends and I have followed the general path of the author's life; he has definitely touched on a common thread of each of our lives. As an historian I don't think it is the best "history" per se, but I don't think that was his intention, I think it was a personal history; so as a journalist I think it was incredible reporting. Incredible work dealing with "what is skateboarding?"
