Yet another great hit from Hendrix! I loved the concept of this book, even though I'm not a metalhead myself (more of a punk than anything). I think it was fascinating to see music mixed with conspiracy, going way past the idea of conspiracy through subliminal messaging and taking it to a whole other level. More than anything else, I loved the fact that "music can change the world" was taken to the extreme.
Now, I will say, it isn't my favorite by Hendrix - I had a harder time falling in love with the characters than I usually do with his novels. It took some time for me to love Kris, though I came around eventually. Regardless, this book was so fun and had a great concept.
