If you suspect that glam metal is not a topic deserving of a whole book...
... Chuck Klosterman has proven you right.

I loved Klosterman's reviews for the Akron Beacon Journal, but this book simply is not very good. His analysis of the subject is rarely original, except when he's being absurd, in which case his analysis is not especially useful.
I couldn't care less about heavy metal music, but I thought I'd give it a try. The stories about Chuck's childhood are pretty interesting... his social and musical commentary are just not very substantial.
The eBook is riddled with typos, btw. -

If you grew up in the 80's you GOTTA read this book!
Very, very, very impressive book on an often ridiculed subject matter (80's 'heavy metal). Klosterman is a very witty writer. And a refreshingly honest one too. While I disagreed with alot of his arguments there are enough 'Oh my god...I remember that!' moments in the book to make it a great read. Coming from someone who is difficult to please (and even more so when it comes to the subject of music) I can not recommend this book any higher. You MUST read it!!
