This was a good read for me in terms of the nostalgia alone. Having been around when the Cars first debuted, and knowing a great many of locations that are in the book, I was in my glory! Janovitz has managed to take mountains of in-person interviews and reportage and create a mammoth history of the Cars, as well as the history of Boston music. Not being a huge music person, some of the chapters dragged for me, I wasn't as drawn to the in depth analysis of how certain sounds were made on the albums or the analysis of each song-but that's just me. A real music person will be fascinated! Overall I liked this, I learned things and I am awed by Janovitz.
