PositiveDen of GeekPeter Frampton’s Do You Feel Like I Do? A Memoir is as much fun as hearing a talking box guitar solo for the first time. Live and with an audience, of course ...The stories make you grin. They are exactly the kind of rock and roll parables we want to hear from musicians ... you won’t stop reading it, not even if you’re just looking for the rock and roll gossip ... Many will see this book as an example of rock stardom gone wrong. But as a reader, it really is what we want to hear ... most musicians should read this, not because of any cautionary tale titillation. Because of his explanation of how he found his sound, the horns Frampton listens to, the piano parts he plays and appreciates in others.
Anne Rice
MixedDen of Geek!Anne Rice is more than in love with her creation. Lestat de Lioncourt is a masturbatory fantasy who can do no wrong for the author, even at his most erroneous. Lestat is a narcissist and Rice is his biggest enabler ... Some of the most interesting characters are dispatched too quickly ... To be fair, with so many vampires sticking around from earlier books, and all of hovering around the Court, Rice would be hard-pressed to give them all page time ... Blood Communion is short for Rice, at 257 pages, and it begins and ends slow.
