1.0 out of 5 stars It sucks, April 19, 2006

By	Jennifer Parisi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book for my 13 year old niece who is an obsessive my chemical romance fan. The book got a millon trillon facts wrong. For instance it got the lead singer Gerard Way's birthday wrong. Also they spelt his name wrong throughout the book. Also Gerard is born in 1977 and the book said that in 1966 he went to school for comic book art. Then he proceeded to graduate in 1999. This little fact was really amazing because he must of started school in his mother's womb.

1.0 out of 5 stars Aweful, August 13, 2006

By	C. Pullinger (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Now I know this is an unofficial book but it's just ridiculous, the author of this book really should have done his research because there are so many things that he got wrong!

He got Gerard's birthday wrong for start, Gerard was born on April 3rd, 1977 when infact he's born on April 9th, 1977.

He states that Gerard went to Art school in 1966. How the hell could he of done that when he was born in 1977?

Through out the whole book the band are labelled 'emo'

There are lots of spelling mistakes throughout the book and the repitition of two words eg: 'the band were with with eyeball records'

They get Gerard's name wrong several times, calling him Gerad, Gerald and Gerrard.

They call Ray Toro, Ray Tory.

They say how Gerard's breakdown from Drink and Drugs came way after the Im Not Okay video when it came before Three Cheers was even made!

The most annoying thing is that they say Matt got sacked from the band after the Im Not Okay video and was replaced by Bob then, when infact Bob is IN the Im Not Okay video and Matt was sacked just before it was made.

I could name loads more mistakes in the book but I can't remember them, lol.
I know it's an unnofficial book but this author really should of done his research, even I could write a better book than this.

I hope people read all of the reviews that this book has recieved and I hope they decide not to buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Kind of a joke is this?, October 25, 2006

By	Denzel Lockheart "Up the Irons" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews

I bought this because I am a big fan of MCR. I love their music, and when I read this, I gave up halfawy. Is the author on crack or something?

Seriously now, everything about MCR in this book is wrong. THEY ARE NOT BRITISH. Gerard is spelled "Jerard" throughout the book. IT also says that "Jerard" went to an art school when he was young.

The author also tries to be correct, but not done.

BUY AT YOUR OWN PERIL!

And I know this is off topic
