Excellent resource.......2004-10-28
This text is a fantastic resource for the practitioner new to the treatment of venous diseases. It is an indispensible tool in setting up a phlebology practice. The appendices of office practice tools (i.e.-eval forms, consents, manufacturers) was a wonderful suprise. Bravo!
The best book avialable for the subject at this time........1997-02-20
Dr. Goldman covers the topic from A-Z. He cover both the smaller (spider) and larger verins in his book which is not a large volume despite its price. He provides the young physician with a concise, orderly manner with whihc to approach the problems in his practice, the tools, medications, methodology and and the forms both for record keeping and legal implications. It is a "turn key" program that if done with attention to detail will serve the new pracitcioner of this medical discipline well, whether dermatologist or plastic surgeon

An excellent guide to butt and legs advanced shaping.......2006-07-18
I bought this book after I bought the "The complete book of ABS" by the same authors. I was so impressed by the thoroughness and effectiveness of the first book, that I decided to try this one and "The complete book of shoulders and arms".
Here you will find every you need to: understand the muscles involved, how to warm and stretch them, how to perform all major exercises, and of course complete routines designed to fit the needs of almost everybody.
If you liked "The complete book of ABS", you will love this one.
Good but a little disappointing after the Book of Abs.......2006-01-07
The introductory chapters are as good as those found in the Brungardt's Complete Book of Abs, but having read that book there is little new useful information in the wellness and nutrition sections.
The exercises and programs are a great reference for working out in the gym. However where the Abs book gives you the ability to work out in ways that most trainers are unaware of, and do so at home, this book seems to have added little to my existing gym routine.
Keys for Killer Quads.......2003-01-13
The Brungardt series of "Complete" Exercises finally gets around to covering lower body. It's nice to see a reference book that focuses on the most essential piece of a well-planned workout.
Legs (including Hamstrings, quads, and calves) are the thrust of this guide, and Brungardt certainly knows how to put together an excellent leg program, whether you are a novice or a pro. The Brungardt strategy is a sound 1-2-3 elevated program, guiding the reader from basic leg workouts up through some tough variations on the master of all weightlifting moves, the squat. The book takes a lot of time explaining the value of proper form in leg routines, which is essential for anyone looking to maintain a healthy back. Brungardt also spends a good deal of time explaining the importance of diet and cardio exercise to develope and tone some awesome legs.
The section on glute building is rather basic, but fits well with the material as most leg exercises involve the glutes, when done properly. Some individual focus on hyperextensions, among other exercises, give the reader some good tools if they want to add more of a glute building routine to their program.
I have found all of the Brungardts books to be a valuable guide for enforcing proper form, and getting some solid motivational advice (they always stress the importance of bringing the nind into the exercise, which is overlooked in most of today's exercise manuals). And it is nice to see legs get a book all their own - if you are like me, and know how valuable a good leg routine is to your workout, you'll appreciate the advice dispensed in this book. Of course, most gym rats won't be interested in a book that ignores the "pecs and guns" mentality that is so prevalent today in the gym. That's a shame, because this book is a great reminder of how lower body affects, and helps build a solid upper body as well
not worth it.......2001-06-13
I was disappointed with this book since it is not as good as the ab book in this series. It mostly features exercies to do in a gym.
Must-Have Book for Fitness Enthusiasts.......2000-11-25
The third book in the three-part Brungardt brothers' series, "The Complete Book of Butt and Legs" is an essential must-have for any fitness enthusiast. The difficulty of working leg muscles is one of the most challenging routines anyone who works out faces everytime. With a combination of a good, low carbohydrate diet and plenty of weight resistance training, one can achieve the maximum results for their legs and gluteus region.
"The Complete Book of Butt and Legs" divides exercises accordingly to main regions the book is supposed to cover: back, quadriceps, calves, and hamstrings. Using a rating system of 1-3, (1 being the easiest, 3 being the most intensive) the author teaches readers of how to use a mind-body connection where the person focuses their mind on the leg/gluteus muscles whenever they are working them out. This method, which has been successful in my case, works these regions to their fullest.
With a this book, a great diet, and maybe even a workout video to use from time to time, you'll be able to reach your desired goals within a matter of time. If you liked this book, then I recommend that you also try the other two books in the Brungardt brothers series: "The Complete Book of Shoulders and Arms. Overall, an excellent book to reach your fitness goals.

Book Description
In the emergency department, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiographs is vital for the care of the acutely ill or injured patient. Written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, this new title conveys the information required to interpret routine radiographic studies with the signposts for quick and accurate diagnosis. The book organizes the crucial and most elemental information, combining clear instructional figures and tables with clinically relevant text. High quality radiographs are accompanied by line drawings which more clearly define the anatomy as seen in the image.

Emergency Radiology.......2007-01-10
Excellent resource. A gold standard for the field of radiological interpretation. Especially beneficial to newcomers to the field.
Emergency Radiology.......2006-02-23
I am a PA in the ED and of what I have read so far I have found this book to be very helpful and well constructed. It is an easy read and overal worth the money. It is probably best suited for someone who has some experience with x-rays and wants to expand futher or review. It does cover some basics and a lot of advanced stuff (CT, MRI, some nuclear scans) as well.
Indispensable.......2006-01-05
As a practicing family/urgent care physician, this book has proven invaluable on numerous occasions. This book is easy to read with a great number of radiographs to look through.
I highly recommend this book to family physicians and internists
looking to add to their library collection. It is practical and a real time-saver.
Phenomenal text.......2004-10-02
Easily the best EM radiology book I've seen. Well-illustrated, well-written, well-referenced, addresses current imaging controversies, and is full of great teaching points.
excellent text for emergency med residents.......2002-07-27
I'm a second year emergency med resident, and I love this book. It's written for and aimed at emergency physicians. There are a lot of black and white photos of x-rays, CTs, and some ultrasound. There are also many hand-drawn illustrations that highlight what the radiograph photos are showing. Because this book is written by EM docs, there is a focus on clinical treatment. The text really focuses on what's important in interpreting and managing pts with these radiographic findings. There are a lot of photos, illustrations, and easy-to-read useful tables. I only wish that there were more ultrasound photos, but despite that criticism, I can confidently recommend this book to any serious EM resident.
Book Description
An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant together across the street from the United Nations....
It sounds like the beginning of an ethnic joke, but it's the axis around which spins this gutsy, fun-loving, and alarmingly provocative novel, in which a bean can philosophizes, a dessert spoon mystifies, a young waitress takes on the New York art world, and a rowdy redneck welder discovers the lost god of Palestine--while the illusions that obscure humanity's view of the true universe fall away, one by one, like Salome's veils.
Skinny Legs and All deals with today's most sensitive issues: race, politics, marriage, art, religion, money, and lust. It weaves lyrically through what some call the "end days" of our planet. Refusing to avert its gaze from the horrors of the apocalypse, it also refuses to let the alleged end of the world spoil its mood. And its mood is defiantly upbeat.
In the gloriously inventive Tom Robbins style, here are characters, phrases, stories, and ideas that dance together on the page, wild and sexy, like Salome herself. Or was it Jezebel?

For long-time fans only.......2007-09-23
Ok, so I love TR just as much as I love HST, maybe more. His giddy sense towards the mundane coupled with his prevailing innate view of the true way of things makes him my very own rockstar. However, this book was a disappointment for me. My favs are "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates" and "Jitterbug Perfume." This book could have been written today. I wish that it was and I wish everyone would read it. My chagrin comes from the end. It built such a frenzy within me, I needed an ending. I needed a "Woodpecker" explosion. Whereas Hunter always buoyed me, even at his darkest, I am at times left wanting by TR. I agreed with each of Ellen Cherry's realizations during the dance of the seven veils - they were absolute and knee-shattering. It was lost however as a climax - the fire began the denouement and that was it. Still love TR, but am not quite so pleased with this one.
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
More of Robbin's trademark whackiness to be found here, and perhaps even moreso with his invention of a bigarse mobile home/caravan and its turkey shapeshifting type abilities.
Thrown in with all the fantasy and sex is some commentary on religious whackos and politics, which isn't too bad.
Must Read........2007-05-19
Tom Robbins knows where it's at. Everything is sacred, yet nothing is. If you need to relax and stop taking life so seriously, grab a book from this author.
Debunking an American myth.......2007-05-12
Any novelist can use a thesaurus, but few contemporary novelists mix tomfoolery and philosophy with the magic and mayhem of Tom Robbins. In Skinny Legs and All, Robbins puts Middle Eastern politics under a prismatic lens, shedding an interesting light on art, religion, sex and consumerism in the process.
This novel was my first experience with Tom Robbins, a man that I now find to be the most trail-blazing, barn-burning of authors. He has a gift for stringing words together, weaving them poetically into great metaphors and larger-than-life characters, all the while crafting this poetry into a story that reminds and re-educates us of our myths and cultures.
And Skinny Legs and All is Tom Robbins at his best.
INSPIRATION TO LIVE.......2006-07-31
This book is amazing, incredible, inspiring. The story line is interesting, but what was wonderful about the book was the way Robbins used the 7 veils idea and Salome's dance to reveal some fundamental truths about the world that we live in. As usual, Robbins is able to so eloquently describe these truths, more so than any other author i've read. Its like a bible of love and hope and nature - it draws the curtain on ideas and philosophy behind money, sex, love, nature, and life. It is a book of revelation, of hope, of sunlight and thunderstorms, and ultimately of inspiration. It made me want to live life, and live it in a new and healthy and loving way.
I wish everyone could read this book and be as inspired as I was, and maybe our world would change just a little.

Book Description

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt you looked older than you are? If so, the promise of Good Night is for you—more sleep, better sleep, healthy sleep.
We live in a sleep-deprived country. In a culture that works more hours and has many more things to do in a day, we're sleeping less and less. We feel it at work, at home, and everywhere else.

Great, holistic answer to insomnia and other sleep problems!.......2007-03-03
Surely all of us, at one time or another, have gone a few rounds with insomnia. When you've had trouble sleeping, you drag yourself out of bed in the morning feeling all achy and exhausted, just as if you had been in the ring battling an opponent all night. In his book Good Night: The Sleep Doctor's 4-Week Program to Better Sleep and Better Health, Dr. Breus coaches you on all the effective ways to overcome insomnia - ways that many of us would never even think of! - and put it down for the count. I found his book expertly written in a conversational and friendly style with suggestions and instructions that are easy to understand and follow.
Part I of the book is called "Quick-Fix Sleep Solutions" and includes the first four chapters. You know what a bad night's sleep is, but what exactly is a good night's sleep? In chapter one, Dr. Breus explains enough about the science of sleep to give you a good foundation for understanding how and why a good night's sleep is necessary to feeling good and looking younger. Chapter two introduces you to the "Three Most Troublesome Culprits in Disordered Sleep...and How to Conquer Them." (If you guessed that caffeine is one of the three, you're right; however, the third culprit might surprise you!) The discussion in chapter three is about the people in your life - your partner, children, and business associates - and how you can manage the disruptions in sleep they may cause. Chapter four is "The Extreme (but Easy!) Bedroom Makeover" and is one of my favorite chapters. In it you learn how to make small changes in the bedroom that add up to a big difference, enabling you to improve your quality of sleep!
"Part II: From Waistlines to Face Lines: You Are What You Sleep" includes chapters five, six, and seven. Did you know that a poor night's sleep can undermine your diet, exercise, or combination weight-loss program? The first chapter in part two discusses how the body chemistry behind a good night's sleep can not only enhance your weight-loss, but acts as a "cosmetic medicine" that empowers your cells to rejuvenate and reverse the damage caused by age, stress, environment, and other factors. Chapter six talks about the important role played by quality sleep in the areas of exercise and sex, and how the right kind of sleep can not only perk up your love life, it can enhance those intimate moments with your partner. If you have ever thought that a nap in the afternoon was a good idea, chapter seven will show you how right you are, and Dr Breus explores different types of naps to help you choose the one that will deliver just the right amount of rest and energy without adversely impacting your sleep that night.
Part III launches the remarkable four-week program, "28 Nights to Sound Sleep Forever" developed by Dr. Breus. Chapter eight takes you step-by-step through the first week of his comprehensive and detailed program to improve your rejuvenating, regenerating sleep. He leads you through a series of small changes from scheduling sleep time to relaxation techniques while you keep a Sleep Diary to record your reactions. Evaluation is the keyword for chapter nine; here you will take the second week to review your Sleep Diary entries from the previous chapter so that you may evaluate the effectiveness of each change, and try some new techniques if you need to. You also receive friendly reminders that help you to stay on track. Weeks three and four of the program comprise chapter ten; here you finalize and follow your personalized sleep program by combining and practicing all the bedtime routine, relaxation, and other techniques that worked well for you.
"The Sleep Aid Industry" is the topic of Part IV of the book. Dr Breus answers a few common questions concerning sleep-aid supplements and pharmaceuticals. As a holistic practitioner myself, I especially value this information about the hazards of using medications or other "quick fix" techniques in attempting to attain quality, restful sleep. To close, The Sleep Doctor offers some excellent guidelines to follow in order to reap the benefits of a completely natural night's sleep for business and vacation travelers, and people who work evening or night shifts.
The two appendices at the end of the book include a reminder list in outline format along with Sleep Diary charts, and a list of additional resources.
I am delighted to have this book in my toolkit to recommend to stress-management clients as well as to other holistic practitioners. You can learn more about Dr. Breus and his book Good Night: The Sleep Doctor's 4-Week Program to Better Sleep and Better Health, by visiting his website www.soundsleepsolutions.com . You will find many articles about a variety of sleep problems, and you may also subscribe to his free "Sleep eNewzzzletter!" You should also visit "The Insomnia Blog" http://www.theinsomniablog.com/ where you may find not only great posts to read, but you can listen to several podcasts of Dr. Breus sharing his expertise in order to help you to overcome your sleep problems!
The best and most comprehensive guide to sleep and wellness.......2007-02-24
After more than 25 years of insomnia I've read my share of books on sleep and this is by far the best.
It provides a great guide to sleep hygiene which includes everything from choosing the best mattress, to sound proofing your room, developing good bedtime habits and understanding your own issues.
The book is full of handy quizzes that help you identify problem areas and provides comprehensive solutions for you to address these issues and get a good night's sleep. The book is full of examples and helpful tips and includes worksheets for you to record your sleep during the four week program.
If you're impatient to jump into the 4 week program you can start that immediately but I would strongly recommend reading the preceding chapters so you can eliminate problems from light, noise, pets, uncomfortable pillows and the like.
Good Night covers all the basics of getting a good night sleep, including recommendations on snacks to help you get to sleep and ideas for decorating your room to minimise distractions.
The book distinguishes between disordered sleeping and sleep disorders covering off the common sleep disorders and how they are diagnosed. The pros and cons of various remedies including sleeping pills and alternative remedies are also covered.
For anyone interested in weight loss or wanting to look younger or remove those black circles under the eyes, Good Night tells you why sleep might be interfering with your energy, appetite and appearance as well as providing guidelines to look and feel younger healthier and slimmer. What could be better?
Any sleep-deprived sufferer needs this........2006-12-11
If you're not getting a good night's sleep, and conventional ideas haven't worked, then GOOD NIGHT: THE SLEEP DOCTOR'S 4-WEEK PROGRAM TO BETTER SLEEP AND BETTER HEALTH takes the next step. It comes from a Senior VP of Clinical Operations at a sleep clinic on the cutting edge of sleep research, and offers up a survey which outlines 6 common reasons for sleep disturbance, how to fix short-term and long-term problems, and how to refine the art of napping. Any sleep-deprived sufferer needs this.

Good Practical Advice.......2006-11-16
I thought I'd heard every statistic and help tip that existed re: sleep problems and sleep hygiene -- keep your room cold and dark, wear earplugs, etc. But refreshingly, this book had a few tips I hadn't seen or heard elsewhere -- including descriptions of several yoga-like relaxation and meditation exercises to help you unwind.
I'm particularly fond of the concept of a "power down hour" where you spend a full, committed hour to unwinding before bed. Though it sounds unrealistic in the modern world, that anyone would take a full hour to do this, the cool thing is that 1/2 of this wind-down hour is meant to be devoted to doing what the author calls "mindless chores" like folding laundry. Makes a lot of sense to me, to save these chores for late night, when doing them may actually help put you to sleep!
There are a lot of tips like this in the book. Highly recommended overall.
An important self-help book.......2006-11-14
A key to functioning well in all aspects of our lives is for us to get enough sleep and, more importantly, get enough GOOD sleep. Dr. Breus helps us do just that with his honest, no-nonsense approach. His clinical insight, helpful explanations, and real-world examples make this book an important read for anyone who desires to become a better sleeper.

this book should be required reading for all kids in jr. high school. Judge Judy has an uncanny ability to glean the truth out of a pile of b.s.!
Eyeopening to say the least!.......2007-07-20
If you've ever wondered what goes on in a family court in the City of New York, here's your chance to see it from the eyes of the judge. When you see Judge Judy on tv, I believe you're seeing a lighter side to her. After reading this book, you'll realize that she has had to rule on the most heart breaking of cases, only to have the social service administration or the parole system undercut what she determined to be the right decision.
Judge Judy has chutzpah!.......2007-01-28
Judge Judy doesn't mince words! I really liked her frankness in this book. It's a shame that some of her ideas are not tried in our justice system. She has spent a lifetime seeing things that many of us could never even imagine. I really enjoyed her honesty!

CHEERING FOR JUDGE JUDY!! .......2006-10-26
This book made me want to cheer out loud!! Judge Judy points out, as so many in society do, that there is a lack of responisbility out there. So many people in our county refuse to take responsibility for their own stupid mistakes and the rest of us pay for it. There is too much reliance on people who live by the law and live their lives responsibly.
I did feel rather sad to realize though, that she is just ONE judge who takes action in her own little corner of America. If more people thought like her, and followed her actions on getting tough with the deadbeats of the nation, this country would not have the severe problems it has. I wish more people in a position of power could see things how she sees it.

Time and Money WASTED!!!!.......2007-09-25
Like many others, I saw this book in the store and decided to see what a brotha had to say. I understand that Mr. Boom has turned his life around and wants to inform women about the pitfalls of relationships, but I thought that it was a little over the top. This book is just a national confession of all the tricks and the games that he has played with women. In certain areas of the book, it sounded like he was bragging. After the first few chapters, I thought it was a waste of time, but I continued to read to see if he really had something interesting to say. Unfortunately, that never happened. If you are looking for some good advice, start with ANOTHER BOOK! This is a waste of time and money!
Big reviews for Big Boom- and he's fine too ladies.......2007-09-07
It is not the matter that this book was written by a former pimp, but by an experienced male and from the male perspective. This book puts the spotlight on wolves and the ladies who allow themselves to be devoured by them. This book gets our rave reviews because who really wants to be told that they are a sucker plain and simple. Take heed ladies, this is your warning. You can take it with a grain of salt or push on and learn the hard way. You know that you have ran across one or two men who are like the men in this book. Big Boom, I applaud you and the dogs are hating on your right now. The ladies who are in this predicament are in denial and saying, but I love him! Well there are good men out there who can put it on you and still treat you the way you should be treated. Stop settling ladies, we got to do better.
Buy it used if at all.......2007-08-09
I purchased this book because of the title. Thank God I didn't spend the money on a hard cover book. The organization was horrible, it was all over the place and confusing. I won't even get into the grammar and typos etc. That annoys me to no end. I didn't feel like I got anything out of reading the book. Yeah yeah, he was a dog who found God and changed his life. Still, there are much better books on relationships out there. Don't waste your money on this one. Mr. Boom, please don't write any more books until you learn how to write or hire an editor who knows his job.
not worth buying.......2007-07-29
i was in walmart one day and this book caught my eye by the title, so i bought it. i wished i would have checked online first. IT is not worth the moneya t all. Mr.boom keeps repeating the same thing over and over and it is very unorganized. alot of the things are common sense, like don't give up the goods to soon, or get to know a man first b/f you bring them aroungd the kids. Not worth it
Ummmmm...........2007-07-19
I read a little of chapter one and skipped to page 121...and I have to admit I was hoping for more. It's a shame because I was really interested in reading what the brotha has to say, but I just can't do it. The editing IS awful and to read more would probably give me a headache with the mixing up of homonyms, ("She will reap what she SEWS"? I didn't know that was possible! I thought it was "you reap what you SOW"...)and the omissions of pluralization.... One of the commentors stated he should become a motivational speaker, and I'm going to have to agree! Too Bad...

Little Critter Braves a Hospital Trip.......2005-12-19
It's 2005 and the "Little Critter" series is still going strong. This very new release (as of the writing of this review), part of the "New Adventures of Mercer Mayer's Little Critter" series is written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer and deals with Little Critter taking a trip to the hospital following a sports injury.
Little Critter is playing soccer. He scores the tie-breaking, winning goal, but hurts his leg. The call comes out for an ambulance and Little Critter is taken to the hospital.
This is a great book that will show kids what a trip to the hospital is like and that it really isn't something to be too afraid of. The characters are anthropomrphic, but fairly representative of real-life. The illustrations are, as usual, detailed, with plenty of things to read and observe at the hospital that Little Critter visits.
This "Little Critter" book comes with five adhesive bandages, a sure hit with Little Critter's littlest fans.

Though Britain's notorious Sex Pistols shoved punk rock into the face of mainstream America, the movement was already brewing in the U.S. in the 1960s with bands like the Velvet Underground and Iggy and the Stooges. Through hundreds of interviews with forgotten bands as well as the ones that made names for themselves--including Blondie and the Ramones--Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain chronicle punk rock history through the people who really lived it. Please Kill Me is a thrash down memory lane for those hip to punk's early years and an enlightening history lesson for youngsters interested in the origins of modern "alternative" music.
Customer Reviews:
Should be called "The American History of Punk: the First 20 Years...".......2007-05-21
This is a great book. With it's "directly from the horse's mouth" approach, it gives the story as seen from it's original players. And the author's choice quotes are excellent: amusing, and at the same time highly informative.
But, naturally, there are faults.
First: half of the book isn't about the original Punk Rock itself, but about it's predecessors - MC5, The Stooges, New York Dolls & The Velvet Underground. I personally have nothing against these bands, but some of the space taken up by them should be given to what happened after Punk '77.
Second: English punk, here, is a generally considered a farse. That might be half-true about the Sex Pistols, but what about The Clash? The author also treats Punk's political leanings - a major & defining trait of the style - as something "forced". There's also a very real feeling of resentment of the protagonists of the New York scene towards British punk - a feeling that's shared with the author himself. Brit punks are treated here, most of the time, as usurpers...
The third major fault I find in this book is the complete lack of coverage it gives to 80's and 90's punk. Where is Hardcore (Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains & Discharge)? Where is Oi! music? And what about Crossover (D.R.I., S.O.D.)? And Grindcore? And those platinum-selling punk bands of the nineties (Greenday, The Offspring)? The focus is just too narrow.
I repeat: this is a great book, but know what you're buying.
If you like the style Hollywood gossip rags, this is for you.......2006-11-14
A little about my frame of reference. I was a few years shy of being able to fully partake in the punk experience. Nonetheless, a friend and I were into the Sex Pistols, Ramones, and Clash when the scene was going down. So, you know I love this stuff, and merely talking about it thrills me; however, Please Kill Me overall left me somewhat cold. Let me explain why.
First off, the book is nothing more than a gossip rag. 98% of the interviews focus on sex and drugs. What's missing? The Rock-n-Roll! Groupies are given WAY too much time to speak. If you add up the words by interviewee, it seems like 35% is testimony by groupies. There are gleaming occasions though when you get some real pearls. For example, the MC5 tell all about their famous gig in Chicago. Iggy shares how he wrote the "I got a heart full of Napalm" lyric. Bandmates explain how Iggy got his name. But that still doesn't account for the dross along the lines of "I just thought so-and-so was so cute, but then I thought so-and-so was cute." Pretty pathetic. There was some major editing to be done here. I mean, why is there testimony from Bebe Buell about her affair with Jack Nicholson?
Next off, the book limits its scope to a handful of focal bands - and mostly how they relate to New York City. These bands include Velvet Underground, Iggy and the Stooges, MC5, David Bowie, Patti Smith, Ramones, New York Dolls, Dead Boys, Heartbreakers, Television, and the Sex Pistols. I am sure that everyone has at least one favorite punk that was left out, so I don't see the point in complaining about that; however, Please Kill Me sees everything through the lens of the New York City scene and tends to dismiss anything happening outside of New York or, equally, denigrate other scenes as New York derivatives. It could have been that way, but I don't think it is a fully accurate depiction. There is certainly some distorting bias of the editors here.
Next, there seems to be some issues with facts in the book. Several others have mentioned some. For one, I was peeved that Legs McNeil, the author, took a lot of pride in claiming that he was the father of the term "punk" as applied to the culture. It's pretty well documented that Lester Bangs did this about 6 years prior - and Legs was friends with Lester, so the chance to steal the term was certainly there.
If you are a real fan of punk, this book will not be an entire waste of time, but I can't help but feel that there are many better books. I am currently looking for those. But Please Kill Me will, at the very least, give you an idea of the personalities of the focal people. It will not give you insight to the punk movement from a philosophical or artistic point of view. Like I said, it is merely a gossip rag.
Insider storis from the girls in the scene.......2006-11-06
All the interview are so intriguing, but most of the interesting stories are transplanted into rocumentary films like Punk Attitude or End of Century-the biography of the Ramones, let stand one of the authors, Legs McNeil is in these films. So I assume most of the artists talking/being talked in this book; Iggy Pop & the Stooges, velvet Underground, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Ramones, Richard Hell, Dead Boys, etc, etc...., if they have their own rocumentary films, main stories talked in this book are in them.
But what I found interesting was the stories from the groupies, or girlfriends so to speak, like Cylinda Foxe(David Johansen's ex-girl friend/wife, married to Steven Tyler), Bebe Buell(Todd Langren's ex-girl frined, Patti Smith's friend, mother of actress Liv Tyler)and Connie, who was a crazy street hooker who was with Arther Kane and Dee Dee Ramones. There so many other inspiration to this book, but to me, their stories are something really fresh, giving more atmosphere of the late 1970's New York and its scenes, kind of like, insider story.
Fascinating cultural commentary.......2006-10-26
"Please Kill Me" is a fascinating book that describes the origins of Punk but in my opinion goes beyond that - its a vivid commentary on the art and personalities emerging in the post-hippy era, a sharp inflection point giving birth to two decades of revitalized hard rock and gutter culture (a term I do not employ derisively).
I love the format, noting names emerging and passing with their relevance and influence. While the narrative is formed from disjoint quotes, the history is delivered intact.
I see a number of parallels between this book and "Dear Muffo" by Harold Conrad, which likewise uses anecdotes of dozens of personalities ranging from Erich Remarque to Muhammed Ali to Evil Kneivel to provide a fasinating history of a completely different (yet still fascinating) cultural era. Readers who love the style of Please Kill Me might also like this book.
one of the best rock 'n' roll books out there..........2006-10-15
Short and sweet: This book captures pure, primal rock 'n' roll as it was happening and doesn't leave out many details on what was going on backstage. Quite frankly, after reading about all the bizarre antics Iggy Pop was up to in the heyday of the Stooges, I find it hard to believe that he is still alive and kickin'.
