2.0 out of 5 stars It's not quite finished..., February 2, 2002

By A Customer

This book could have been great. There were chapters on cities, recording studios and guitars that touched Mustaine's life, but the reader was always left wondering about how they related specifically to the artist. The interpretations of lyrics were interesting to read, as were some details of his life, but I questioned the validity of the facts as the author complains several times that there was only one interview with Mustaine. What made me want to throw this book into the fire was the atrocious grammar. Obviously it was translated, but before a book is published, doesn't someone check the grammar at least at a cursory level? Despite the negatives, I admit I'm not sorry I bought the book.....but I also don't regret buying those jittery handed Japanese videos of Megadeth's live concerts, either.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time!, October 31, 2002

By	S. Giusti (WA STATE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even as a serious Dave Mustaine fan, this book was so difficult to read I still cannot bring myself to pick it back up and finish it. Whoever translated this book to English did not have knowledge of the language. The sentences are repetitive and do not make sense much of the time. Also, there are entire chapters dedicated to things like the college that Dave attended in CA, but nothing about him! It is a complete waste of time to read this book so sit down and re-watch the Megadeth Behind the Music to get your Dave Mustaine fix and save yourself the frustration of reading this horribly written & edited book.
