Response to Klosterman's Book

My impression of the book "Killing Yourself To Live" is: It was okay. I found I could understand about 80% of what Klosterman was writing about. I found what he initially set out to write about (detours aside) was informative. Especially the story of Pattie Boyd, Eric Clapton, and George Harrison which prompted me read more about those three in another novel. I liked when he would associate certain songs with what was going on in his life at that time.
I was a little bored was his whining about his girlfriends and his love life which I think took away from the story somewhat.
I would recommend this book be used if the majority of the class were older than say 28. Because at least they would know who some of the musicians are that were discussed in the book.
