1.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Red Sox Fan, December 27, 2004

By 

Red Sox Fan "I Believe" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Street Fighter (Paperback)

For goodness sake - I wasn't even looking at metal bands. I was looking at the Red Sox. I don't care if you have a vendetta against heavy metal, which is pretty stupid if you do. But how could you recommend this over the most historic win in baseball? Avowed Christian Curt Schilling would be disappointed, as am I, also a Christian.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic, December 8, 2004

By 

the curry (somewhere over the Rainbow, with ritchie and dio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Street Fighter (Paperback)

So I come to look at cds by Dio, and suddenly I see this dumb book listed as "buy this instead". Someone needs to leave music listeners alone. Realize that just because someone listens to rock it doesnt mean they worship Satan. And if they do, then they probably don't care what you have to say. Stop being dumb. What you have said to buy instead has no relation to our music.

Nobody is going to read this book because you suggest it instead of music. At all. Stop trying. You're a failure at life.

...if youre trying to convert everyone, what i find most ironic is that people that bought this book typically bought books by Dan Brown, possibly the most heretical books to come out in some time...

5.0 out of 5 stars Caught Up In The Struggle, January 19, 2005

By 

Shy Girl (Chi Town, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Last Street Fighter (Paperback)

I really enjoyed reading this book. I got caught up into the struggle. I was afraid for him when his life became threatened and he was in trouble with rival gangs. I cared about him and the dangers he encountered. I was routing for him all the way. After being singled out by three different gangs and a dealer by the time he was seventeen, God must have spared his life for a reason. This message for one. This is what it is like in Chi town too, just like in California. Funerals are a part of life and so is loss. I don't think they can possibly know in places like Utah. No one escapes the violence on the West Side, not even the white kids. I wish I knew more Ministers who been there or at least understand like this. This book moves fast and is a good read.
