It is a story of meteoric rise and fall in the music business, and also of drugs, sex, and rock 'n roll. It's quite the roller coaster ride!
I loved this story and the characters. I found the life crisis' they found themselves in to be true-to-life and their situations handled realistically. I thought the writing to be well done.
