A lot of fun for people who love Keith Moon, but also the type of book that only focuses on the sensationalist aspect of Keith, his drug use. Of course, the writers who penned this book probably have never truly experienced the devastation of losing someone to partying - or didn't learn enough to not make glib, cool jokes about this kind of death.

I still give it five stars, because it at least gives some more time to Keith and his amazing legacy. Keith Moon, the Jimi Hendrix of the drums.

If you get a chance, watch some of the Who documentaries available or anything where you can watch some of Keith's antics (from when he was ALIVE) - you'll see someone, Keith Moon, who lived full-blown in the world - just too bad the world has so many intoxicating poisons and ways to die!

The book is, as I said, a glib, yuppie-produced insult, but - Keith Moon can outshine any exploitation of his days on Earth - and this book is worth checking out because of Keith and only because of Keith.

Funny for fans of The Who, a bit lurid for anyone not into rock and roll culture.

Repetitive and in poor taste.

Goodnight Mama Cass whispering "shhh."

Liked the Bush parody better.

There are a few variations on the Goodnight Moon theme but this one makes sense for our house since my husband is a big Keith Moon fan so he is actually the owner of this book but I did read and enjoy it as well.

Having been one of those kids in the Seventies who was allowed to enjoy Cheech and Chong and many others from that era without the Parental Warnings, I think that this is a must read for any age group as it simply tells the facts of a life and life style.

Ouch...that hurt.

So good. True to the original, but adjusted for an adult sensibility.

Well done!

This is a great parody for fans of The Who. Sure it's a bit dark, but I think that's intention.
