Book Reviews of The Boy Who Cried Freebird: Rock & Roll Fables and Sonic Storytelling
Book Review: If It Weren't for the Fact . . .
Summary: 1 Stars
. . . that author Mitch Myers is the nephew of the late, great Shel Silverstein, this wouldn't have been suitable even to line a birdcage. This is basically nothing more than an attempt to trade on (and simultaneously trash) Silverstein's reputation. I know, because I knew Shel for years, and remember him as honorable, decent and loyal - traits Myers wouldn't know if he fell over them. Not to mention the unforgivably poor writing throughout. In short, avoid this and the so-called "biography," "A Boy Named Shel" - which also smacks of a half-truth-laden hatchet job.
