This review is from: We Owe You Nothing: Expanded Edition: Punk Planet: The Collected Interviews (Punk Planet Books) (Paperback)

I purchased this mostly for the interviews with Kathleen Hanna and Sleater-Kinney, but I ended up really enjoying the entire book. The interviews are always insightful and interesting, and a wide variety are included...Noam Chomsky was one that I wasn't expecting to find.

There are thirty interviews in all, so this is definitely good value for the price.
