cdd727 's review for:

3.0

I've never liked a book this much and simultaneously disliked it as well. For every utterly fascinating passage describing the origin of a song or an encounter with an interesting person like Allen Tousaint, there's a handful of odd skips forward and backward in time or a reference to something or another given too ambiguously. In between the excellent parts there were a few too many frustrating parts, which I suppose is fairly analogous to Costello's discography. Perhaps it was all intentional.
