Review: Rock and Roll Made Boring
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 03 27, 2013
For about 10 minutes I thought this novel would bring back the thrill of the late 60's - even highlighted the paragraph where the guy tries to explain to the ghostwriter how we really thought the world had changed.  Then, it turned into a looooong, drawn out makes me think of Eddie and the Cruisers murder mystery.  That was okay, if you like that - the character's were so understated, I hated it. Anyway, the twist at the end and the actual end were just...the antithesis of rock and roll.  SLIGHT SPOILER!  I cannot even imagine anyone who is moved by rock and roll so unmoved by a death that they watch a video and go to bed.  It's not supposed to be THAT emotionally cathartic, and I hate mysteries that end with an unsolved mystery.
