Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota by Chuck Klosterman

3.0

Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman

I like Chuck Klosterman, I like his books, I like the way he writes. This book didn't "speak" to me. Normally I enjoy his writing because I understand where he is coming from, I know what he is talking about. This book is mainly about "hair" metal bands and growing up in North Dakota. Unfortunately, "hair" metal bands didn't have that much effect on my life. To be honest, the majority of bands he talks about I had never heard of - much to Maria's amazement. Although it was interesting, it wasn't engaging. Sort of like, one of those documentaries on VH1 that you end up sitting through because there is nothing else on. At the end of the book I knew a bit more but had no interest in finding out anything else.

It was still an enjoyable read but only scores an "OK" on my list.
