MR. BLONDE IS A "BLESSING IN DISGUISE!",
By A Customer
This review is from: A Blessing of the Hounds (Paperback)
I bought this book at Borders last year and attended a reading/signing with Michael Madsen. It's great on the page, but it's even better on stage!!! When Madsen reads his poetry in his trademark raspy voice, he just grabs you by the ears and leaves listeners hanging on his every word (this book is also availble on Spoken Word CD--BUY IT!). If you ever get a chance check him out at a local signing... it's worth the trip! "A Blessing of the Hounds" yields some great poetry, intimate photos and a rare glimpse into a complex entertainment personality. I especially liked "Sinatraless" and "Virginia." Madsen's poetry is existential at times, humorous at other times-- he gets you thinking. He's a rebel like Rimbaud. Mr. Blonde is not such a bad guy afterall... or is he? READ THE BOOK!
