    This book is just fine! no its not the autobiography of mark twain and it will stand out beside your copy of stephen hawking. Jason does a fine job writing this. I read a little everyday and couldn't wait to see what was in store next. Maybe i can relate because i've experienced some of this Pearl jam/concert magic. Ive said it before and still believe it, what makes this band so great is either you get it or you don't. i feel sorry for the ones who don't. It is what it is. Well done ,Jason

    One thing I noticed and was really excited about was hearing the reactions to the book from casual pearl jam fans. Or in some cases, people like my Dutch uncle who doesn't care for Pearl Jam's music at all but is an avid reader. He picked it up one night after receiving it for Christmas and couldn't put it down.

    Just to following up on the discussion here, the book is meant to be read like a journal, as it was the best format to use for telling all the events and stories that I wanted to share. And of course my writing is not perfect, but I believe I have written it in a way that was entertaining and easy to read for everyone.

    Thanks for all the reviews guys. All comments are appreciated. Keep them coming, praises and criticisms. And don't forget to share your reviews on Amazon as well, if you get a chance.

    It's pretty great for what it is. No it isn't Jack Kerouac's On The Road but it perfectly captures what it is like to be a fan and travel to these shows, meeting various people along the way. I've always wondered how people pull off being able to hit so many shows and now I know, at least in this case.

    Hey, the writing isn't perfect. There are several grammar mistakes and such, no offense. But cut the guy a break. He was able to put on paper what many of us feel and experience and for that, more power to him!
