If you loved the first two or three Pixies albums, but nothing else that Charles Thompson has ever been involved with, you might enjoy this book. If you are a fan, you will wonder why someone spent so much time and effort writing a book about a band led by someone he obviously thinks died creatively 15 years ago. If you relish suffering through hundreds of run-on sentences and trying-so-desperately-hard-to-be-clever-but-only-succeeding-at-being-obscure-trite-and-ultimately-meaningless blarney, this is the book for you! Somewhat informative and a few good black and white photos, but mostly editorial crap. To say I hated it would be petty (like the author of the book), but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
