This book was written by filmmaker Joe Berlinger, who was one of the directors of the popular documentary film Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. It tells in great detail about the two years he and his filmmaking partner, Bruce Sinofsky, spent making the film. It includes excerpts from counseling sessions that Metallica attended during the filming that provide valuable insight into the world's most famous heavy metal band.

Berlinger says that he learns a great deal from Metallica, that they gave him "gifts that will have a profound impact on my life as a filmmaker, father, husband, collaborator, and friend. I learned all of this from a group of guys, who as far as most of the suburban parents that I hang out with during my daughter's Saturday soccer games are concerned, are incapable of uttering a coherent sentence, let alone imparting such life lessons."

I think that the Berlinger's film and book challenge the way people think about Metallica and those engaged in the subculture of metal music. If you are a Metallica fan, this is a must read. If you are a documentary film buff or a pop culture maven, this is a must read. I also think that many general nonfiction readers will enjoy this book.
