5.0 out of 5 stars ...wildly inventive, my ass..., April 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flesh Guitar (Hardcover)

If you want to read a poorly written book with no plot and very little to no understanding of music or guitars or the creative process, Flesh Guitar is for you.

This review is from: Flesh Guitar (Hardcover)

This is indeed Nicholson's weakest book. A series of vignettes and anecdotes that taken individually would be fun, are presented in the place of a traditional narrative or even an overt message. These tales of the flesh guitar simply don't add up to much.

1.0 out of 5 stars A big letdown, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flesh Guitar (Hardcover)

As a fan of Nicholson, hands down, this is the weakest of his work. It's a surreal story set in a post-modern guitar rock fantasy world that goes nowhere. (Was he experimenting with a new style?) After all the brilliant plots, characters, and dialogue; this was a huge letdown.
