A review by mlrio
Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis

3.0

If there's such a thing as pulp non-fiction, this is it. Davis's writing is lurid, self-indulgent, and ridiculous. But it's also undeniably fun to read (a particularly colorful description of the band and entourage as a kind of hard-rock Robin Hood gang--which casts the ever-provocative Robert Plant as Maid Marian--leaps to mind). One is of course left wondering how much of Davis's account is actually true, but without the mystery and the raised eyebrows and the vague accusations of pacts with the devil, it really wouldn't be Led Zeppelin.
