3.5 stars. I don’t remember ever hearing about The Joneses until I came across this book. After I listened to them on iTunes, I liked what I heard. I enjoyed reading about the band and Jeff Drake’s life.

I actually loved this book. Jeff really pours his heart out and tells all!

I lived in Hollywood during some of The Joneses playing clubs there.
I don't recall ever seeing them play live but I knew of them. I feel like I should have known them from all the clubs, bars and people that he talks about in the book.

What a life he had and I'm loving that he put it all out there for us to read. I can relate to quite a bit of what he went through. I just never robbed a bank!
I'm happy he made it through those times!!

It's something that you have to read.....I never give away spoilers!

A rapid page turner. Plenty of punk and hair metal superstars pop up. Delves into the seediness and debauchery of the LA/Hollywood scene without the rose colored glasses.
