Subject: Les Book Review Author: Lisa (Baa Baa) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:52:16 11/16/03 Sun Random thoughts on Les book... - Overall I thought his writing style was very clever. Some spots I found myself actually laughing aloud at his humor. - I, personally, was hoping for more of a book in the form of what Eric had written for the fan club (which was never finished). I guess more of a personal account of their lives together, life on the road, etc. rather than a look at the music business in general which I felt quite a bit of the book was. - I respected that Les did not write blatant 'tell all' about the other BCR and seemed to take into account their privacy through it all. I'm an Eric fan and even though Eric seemed to be prime target for the majority of Les' venting, I actually thought Les was...mmm...relatively open minded even when he was venting. I think there was one line in the book that ranted for a paragraph about the other guys...then ended with something along the lines of '...or perhaps I was just a shit'. Okay, how can you not think that's funny? :) Although I didn't think there was anything earthshattering or 'new' per se in the book, it really is a clever read. Anyone else?

Subject Author Date Baa baa Bisa, thanks for posting your thoughts on the book! I've got about 6 pages read so far, lol. Life's just too hectic right now, but I'll get back to it. I did skip ahead though, to a part that was recommended to me, and was surprised that some of Les's memories of our '96 'fest & etc. were a little umm...fuzzy, LOL. Oh well, nothing earthshattering. (NT) Becky 18:27:12 11/16/03 Sun Becky, hurry up and read it, I want to hear what you think. For me, the saddest part was how he talked about how he felt they were never given an opportunity to bond as a group. How sad is that? We've probably all been in a work situation before where you don't really "click" w/ your co-workers. Now imagine pretty much living with those same people 24/7. It's just depressing. If that's how they all felt - then kudos to them for sticking it out as long as they did. (NT) mary f. 15:30:58 11/19/03 Wed
