Book Reviews of The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon

Book Review: Hard Times...
Summary: 5 Stars

The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon is a superb read. Joseph is vivid in his writing and a lot more expressive than you might expect if you expected this to be short and clipped like his lyrics. At 428 pages the book gives value for money. The most interesting aspects of it, for me, were not the details of the rise and fall of the Cro-Mags. Instead, Joseph's upbringing (or lack of it) in New York in the '70's is absolutely fascinating. These are genuine street tales, told by a man who lived them. They are not boastful or self glorifying, they merely represent one man's struggle for survival. If you have any interest in hardcore music, inspirational people in alternative culture or you want to read an interesting biography this book is for you. Thought provoking, honest and real: the best book written by and about an alternative icon I have EVER read. Gripping stuff.
