"Sometimes when you're the co-pilot on a road trip, you're having such a good time talking to your buddy, gazing out the window, and listening to awesome music that you're a little reluctant to stop and get out when you actually reach your destination. That's what reading this book is like."-- Gregory Kirschling, "Entertainment Weekly", "[Klosterman] writes with real articulacy and feeling about the relationship between rock music and the non-alpha males who worship it. . . . He's ferociously clever and ferociously self-deprecating, which makes him a superb companion. . . . I absolutely loved it. I don't suppose those guys in tight trousers and makeup have any idea they have such a great chronicler." -- William Leith, Evening Standard (London), "I can't think of a more sheerly likable writer than Chuck Klosterman and his old-fashioned, all-American voice: big-hearted and direct, bright and unironic, optimistic and amiable, self-deprecating and reassuring -- with a captivating lack of fuss or pretension. He's also genuinely funny and I pretty much agree with everything he says."-- -Bret Easton Ellis, "[Klosterman] writes with real articulacy and feeling about the relationship between rock music and the non-alpha males who worship it. . . .
