New York Times bestselling author + filmmaker Ian Halperin (Director of The film The Cobain Case, Author of Who Killed Kurt Cobain and Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain) took time out of his busy schedule to read through The 27s.

After he sent an enthusiastic mid-way dispatch (”I love your book”), we were excited to read his thoughts after reading The 27s all the way through. Here it is:

“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!”

Thanks Ian! We hear Halperin has two new books in the pipeline, so stay tuned to these upcoming titles.
