THE 27s PRAISE AND QUOTES
"The deaths of these rock stars at the age of 27 really changed the way we look at rock music." --Robert Smith, National Public Radio's "All Things Considered"
"As much as this book is about The 27s, it is about music; about America; about the art and perils of the music industry; about the mystique behind death at age 27; and finally about history itself. The 27s is a must read for anyone interested in knowing more about the greatest musicians of modern times. It's presented like a resonance of sound in the clearest grain of a violin. Well done!"
--Ian Halperin, NY Times bestselling author/filmmaker, Director of The film The Cobain Case, Author of Who Killed Kurt Cobain and Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain
"If you're a rock-an-roller, watch out once you hit the age of 27."
--Patricia Sullivan, Washington Post
"In addition to a music history, The 27s is also an artistically arresting book, thanks to Hunter's eye-popping artwork, which is woven through the text in the manner of a graphic novel. It can be read linearly, or at random."
--Phil Kloer, Atlanta Journal of Constitution
"A wild and creative romp through the crazy but true world of the phenomenon of rock stars dying far too young. The graphic novel approach to this book is vividly wild, and fantastic..."
-- Charles R. Cross, author of Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix and Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain
