This is a fascinating book it is essentially an oral history but it ends up feeling like a great work of fiction, not because it rings false but because so much happened in Warren Zevon's life. If you are at all interested in him then this book will interest you.
Disturbing account of a deeply disturbed, brilliant man, told in the words of those who knew him.

It's not something I'd recommend to anyone but a Zevon fan, but it's an intriguing peek into an era and one of the most unique and creative songwriters and performers of rock and roll.
