This excellent book brings together the the Rolling Stones in their early days, the Manson Family, and wanna be star/film maker/Hollywood chronicler Kenneth Anger. The brief, but important coming together of these three groups is, in the end, a story of loss and dashed dreams. if you are interested in the less-than-glamorous side of fame, and you want an idea of what the 60s were like, this book is a great place to start.

This is a truly wonderful and surprising book. It's a short but powerful book about a woman, Lillian, in a small Vermont town being terrorized by the local hard case. She approaches the sheriff, but he says he can't help her. However, he does send her to see some men who might be able to do something. With few questions asked, two men agree to take care of her problem. The story unfolds over the course of one day and night. Violence is hinted at on almost every page though, when it occurs it is neither draw out nor gratuitous. In the end a very powerful book, and a very powerful message.
What a great book. For the travel lover, or the map lover, this is the book for you. The book includes the map of every major urban train system in the world. For some of the bigger/older systems, historical information is included. Sit down with this book for a couple of hours and imagine all the great places you will visit.

Part fictional autobiography, part comic book. Both of my kids loved it.(4 of 8 readers found this comment helpful)
