Interesting and entertaining - By: Helen Simpson, 30 Dec 2007
I enjoyed reading John Elder's memoirs. They could have been belonged to anyone who toured with bands (KISS in this case) during the seventies but were more interesting because his accounts were maybe not quite what you'd expect. He didn't take advantage of the opportunities that others in his position could have & his explanations were insightful as well as entertaining.

The author didn't have the best upbringing but rather than dwell on that, he tells amusing accounts of his growing up & relationships; from his brother 'Varmint' to the fascinating understanding of his wife.

It's a book that looks back on childhood but also moves on to adulthood. I felt the later chapters had more information as an insight to Asperger's but I found the whole book was an enjoyable read.
