By the end of this rewarding book, readers may find themselves more interested in Evans than his former band. Great for AC/DC fans and memoir readers, this is easy entertainment with a sincere heart.

While Wall bravely exposes the band's scars, he doesn't join the chorus of latter-day Metallica critics but reveals a vanguard act pushing boundaries few artists can. For the fans of the band, or simply of music, this balanced book is a dream.

Because Sisk provides a more honest portrait of a country legend, her book is essential for readers interested in cultural musicology. But its conversational Nashville style may not draw in casual fans.
