Very very well written. There's lots of really lovely turns of phrase throughout the book. Rudy is a cool character, deeply flawed but with an interesting perspective on things. And the whole thing has that authenticity - I'm assuming some of the situations were inspired by Franz's career.
I think my main complaint is probably the pacing. I just thought that there was a bit too much time spent on Rudy's background and early days in a local hardcore band, which is fine but not massively interesting. And then the later stuff with his struggling career, relationship with his sister, his niece, his protégé and his fans, which I found far more interesting, felt really rushed.
