Captures an extraordinarily inventive period in which rock music was stretching out in all directions ... While his journalistic ethics may have wilted in the megawatt glow of his favourite rock stars, Crowe’s writing style flourished. In The Uncool, he succinctly evokes both eccentric characters and the era they represented.
Riveting ... Crowe delivers a memoir that is both a backstage pass to rock ‘n’ roll and a master class in storytelling, warm, vivid, and irresistibly uncool in the best way.
Captivating ... This is a remarkable and moving memoir, with an engaging and unforgettable cast of characters, that will resonate well beyond fans of celebrated '70s music.
Lively ... Readers who only know Crowe from his screen credits will savor the behind-the-scenes insights, but the book’s real power lies in its portrait of a teenager chasing his heroes. It’s a delight.
