[J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bit dated as it was published in 1983, and a little heavy on the Ian Curtis worship typical of the time, but still an interesting if brief read.

[Thomas Stroemquist · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a huge fan of JD/NO and the author of this book did a good job, so my rating won't be anything less.
