3.0 out of 5 stars
Hard to read, even for non-fiction,

This review is from: Trance Formation: The Spiritual and Religious Dimensions of Global Rave Culture (Paperback)
I love trance music. I love non-fiction reading. But I didn't really enjoy reading this book. Its really more of a longer thesis than a book. The beginning of the book is actually very very compelling, giving a history of how raving began, and how it unites many together.
I didn't finish this book. I got about 80% through and it got weird. The general feeling of the book changed greatly. Focusing more on spirit-ism and good vs evil spirit vibes. In addition the interviews were often times duplicated or only partially re-quoted as the book continued on. Sometimes even the short interjections from the author repeated. Overall, if you are looking for a new way of looking at religion or music even, you may want to pick this book up, (it's kinda pricey for only ~180 pages) but if you are looking for information about raves / electronic music, or even a brief history of said music, look elsewhere. |
