great ending
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
takes a while to find it's feet in the beginning, and slows a bit in the middle, but it is all worth it for the last few pages.
life on the road

NOT FADE AWAY is about a journey, but it's more about grieving and accepting. And the book has great Dodge characters along the way. No Johnny Seven Moons, but there's Double-Gone.
wild ride

I couldn't put this one down until it was over - a wild, nostalgic ride back over familiar territory - the characters are vibrant and sometimes brilliant - I was inspired to start my own Buddy Holly novel - still in the works! One of the few books that I have read more than twice!
pop culture of the 50's and early 60's summarized!

this is a hell of a book! i re-read it yearly. if you ever want a "feel" of the 50s and 60s this is the book. a hegira to the big bopper's grave after a tour of north beach. it has style, form, and is a great read! i laughed and laughed in between appreciating his style.
One of the FUNNIEST books ever written!

This book made me laugh out loud while reading it. It didn't matter if I was in an airport or by myself at home, I laughed like hell. "The Rev. Doublegone Johnson" slayed me. If you don't read this book, you are missing out BIGTIME. If after reading this book, if you don't immediately buy several copies to give to your friends, I'll buy you a drink. Guaranteed.
