Liked it but didn't love it. I'm not sure how I came to purchase this book. I think it must have been on a "buy two get one free" table at the bookstore. I have heard of Sonic Youth but have never listened to their music. I liked reading about the author's childhood, growing up in L.A. in the 60's and having a schizophrenic brother. I also liked reading about her life in New York City, forming a band, getting married and having a child in a rock 'n roll environment. The only part that slogged for me was the art scene (of which I know nothing about). If you are familiar with it than I'm sure you'll get more out of it than I did.

Music is a huge part of my life so I liked reading about Kim Gordon's life even though I'm not familiar with her band. It's great to read about successful women in rock 'n roll!
