This was my favorite Black book. I loved the thought of Black being a rock star and playing guitar like Jimmy Page or Keith Richards.
Fun, easy read. If you're looking for a detective story with action and lots of sarcasm, the Black books are worth your time.

My favorite of the series, and since it was such an enjoyable story, I decided to give it an extra star. Loved that it was him getting back into music and the story was quite fun and enjoyable.
It still had the main 3 things I hated ~ bitch of a mother (hate her with a passion), asshole of a therapist and Roxie being just slightly over the top. She was perfect after one point though, after that, it was the perfect amount of sass, with not too much. Sylvia surprised me as being a bitch and I would have had her hitting the road after the first time she flipped out.
I finally realized what one thing about Black I don't like is ~ he's a pussy!! He FINALLY stood up for himself and I wanted to cheer, realizing he does NOT do that. He doesn't stand up to his parents, who are (at least the mother) inconsiderate at best. He doesn't stand up to the therapist who is a creepy ass wipe. He just doesn't stand up for himself at all, so when he finally did, it was great. If there's more of this series, I hope he grows a pair and starts acting like a confidant man, instead of a spineless one.
