If you've ever wondered what it's like to be in a struggling rock band that might just make it big if they got the right break, this book provides a pretty clear and entertaining picture. The writing is good, witty, and sometimes makes you laugh out loud. It's a plus if you know Boston and remember the 1980s, because some of the big bands and clubs of the era are mentioned, but the characters transcend the specific locale. A fun ride.
So, you wanna be a rock star?

Combines the gritty backstage vibe of Roddy Doyle's "The Commitments" with the emotional thawing heart of Jay McInerey's "Bright Lights Big City."
