That was my thought for the last 100 pages of this book. I was so sick of this story and the unbelievable plot and characters. I couldn't take it anymore. When I got to the final pages I felt like I was on a bad vacation and my plane had finally landed. It was over thought, too long, not at all entertaining and the characters were awful.

All this crap was mixed in with some social commentary about news cycles and the way reporters react to a story that involves "good looking" people.

2.0 out of 5 stars AVERAGE., Oct 21 2011
This was an OK book. Sometimes rock stars aren't as exciting as they seem. I found I skipped a lot of it because I was bored. The Cabo Wabo story was entirely more intesting the the Van Halen one.
