Book Reviews of The Fat Man on Game Audio: Tasty Morsels of Sonic Goodness (New Riders Games)
Book Review: A mostly entertaining romp
Summary: 3 Stars
I found this book in the bargain bin at a local book store. I play music and am interested in recording.
I found the book entertaining mostly because the character of the author really shines through. He seems like a kind of Hunter S. Thompson of this small and fairly obscure musical niche.
He drops lots of names and there are many inside jokes. One can get a bit lost in all of the people who pass through the book. I found some nuggets of wisdom about music and dealing with people and mostly I was entertained.
I think Mr. Sanger would be an entertaining person to have a drink with.
