Casualties of Rock

This book explains in detail not only the deaths of some of the greatest rock musicians, but also of their successes. It was very sad to hear how these great musical genuises met their ends. I only had one problem with this book. I was thinking since this book was named "The Casualties of ROCK" that it would only include rock musicians. However, I found a few rap artists, such as Tupac Shakur. I'm not saying that this disappointed me, it just mislead me. But this was a very helpful book, and it provided me with information that I had been searching for.

This book is great for people who are interested in rock and roll history. I learned, unfortunately, how tragically some musicians lost their lives. Some committed suicide or were murdered; others were killed by car or plane crashes; for others drug and alcohol took over their lives. This is a quick read. And, I admit there are some names that I believe shoudn't have been left out- e.g. R & B legends- Donny Hathaway and Phyllis Hyman. But, I still highly recommend this book! You will probably learn some interesting facts that you never knew!
