faethered 's review for:

The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of Hallelujah by Alan Light

1.0

I love this song as much as anyone, but this book would have been much better off as an essay. It just dragged on and on. I was also ticked off at the emphasis on Buckley, two whole chapters devoted to licking his boots and praising his so-called talent, when his version of Hallelujah is the absolute worst I've ever heard.
