While I was a big fan of Bon Scott era AC/DC, I didn't know much about the band's early years. This book does a nice job with the early days of the members and the development of the band. I was encoraged by the boys' enthusaism to make it to the big time as they weren't the worldliest lads - Angus and Malcolm's sister came up with the name AC/DC and until early gigs at gay bars the guys didn't realize it could have a double meaning. Kicking there early lead singer out of the band for "being too short." Bon Scott's hard living and Brian Johnson's relation to the band prior to his joining. It's all in there with a bunch of anecdotes that shows they've been enjoying it all and never take it too seriously. Relatively easy read and you learn some stuff - seems good to me
