Summary: At Last...
Review: "At Last There is Nothing Left to Say," by Matthew Good-- ex-lead singer of Canada's (now dispersed) biggest alternative-rock band, the Matthew Good Band-- is a collection of manifestos scripted by him over several years. The work is geared for a rather personal audience, perhaps only those who are fans of Matthew Good or the band-- they are the ones most likely to understand the origin of most of the book's contents. A fan myself, I am inclined to rate this publication as being top of the line, as well as one of a kind; however, those who are not familiar with Matthew Good might not concur."[Truth,] the greatest of all fantasy words, dependent entirely on perspective. Now I'm sure there are remnants of the truth left out there, those things that make everyone's stomach turn so much that they've just got to be wrong, or right, or justifiable. But for the most part truth is perspective. Despite what you've read or been told most of your life there are not two sides to every story." (Good 72). Good's collection is a wild mix of just that: truth expressed in perspective. This creates an ultimately insane element of fiction, within several tales possessing the slightest bit of truth. Having said that, it should be easily understood when I say that he keeps you guessing with every turn of a page. Is he crazy? Maybe, but then, fact and fiction are crafted with such wit here that we may never know.

Summary: Brilliance on the Brink Of Insanity
Review: A masterpiece for anyone who is a twisted as I am. What he says makes alot of unexpected sense and makes you think. Which I think is what he is always trying to do. We live in a "What's in it for me?" So Invest in this book if you know you're a little stranger than everyone else and enjoy it. For me it was worth every penny and the two months it took me to find it. (Just a Note...the reviews that are on the back of the book were written by Matt himself.)

Summary: At last there is nothing left to say - Masterpiece
Review: A well written book from a great individual who's not affraid to remind us that we are not living in "Fantastica" (Matthew Good -Avalanche). "A must for fans of The Matthew Good Band, At Last There Is Nothing Left to Say sure isn't Disneyland, but we'll take you for a ride"

Summary: the literature of being
Review: At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is Matthew Good's (of The Matthew Good Band fame) first, and perhaps last, foray into the world of the written word. At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is not a complete novel, nor a series of novella, but rather, a collection of short 1-10 page stories of fictious accounts of Matthew's life and narratives of events in the lives of a host of characters. The novel is layed out in an interesting, dual-story fashion, where one will find major stories taking up 3/4 of the page, and smaller stories taking up 1/4 of the page. The smaller stories are more like manifestoes than short works of fiction, which give some insight into Matthew's delightfully twisted and cynical world view. At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is not one solid, cohesive work, and it doesn't have a unifying central theme. Instead it makes a few statements on society, on the environment of the mind, and the dysfunctions of people. At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is an entertaining read that offers morbid and twisted insight into the minds of teenagers, rock stars, and sociopaths. And while it doesn't have all that much to say, it still manages to say alot.

Summary: Pretty damned amazing
Review: I've been a fan of Matthew Good for a little over a year now, ever since a friend introduced me to his music. Matthew Good Band broke up a while ago, but Mr. Good has pursued a 'solo' career, with a new band, but somewhat similar style. I can honestly say that I don't believe that Mr. Good has done a bad piece of work, written or otherwise As mentioned in a few other reviews, various lyrics from Matthew Good/Band songs are mentioned in various places during the book, and there are even whole stories which relate to certain songs. It's very impressive. A casual reader would definitely be very confused with the book, but a fan like myself would most definitely enjoy it immensely. Not only are the stories well-written, but there are sporadic and seemingly random pictures which actually relate to certain parts of the story, or a comment on society. Also, the book is not your conventional book. It's pretty much a paperback square shape, with large pages and medium-sized font. Anyway, that's enough. If you're a fan of Matthew Good, I'd advise you to order the book and enjoy it; if you're not, then start listening to the music.

Summary: Its Good. Its "Matt Good" Good.
Review: If you're a fan of his music, read the book. The book itself is a colourful and pleasently depressing read, but its distinct flavour is Matt Good through and through. After reading the book, go out and listen to an album from start to finish - every single song on every single album tells a story just like the ones in this book. If you listen carefully it'll make you laugh and cry at the same time *just* like this book will. If you're not a fan, then you should probably stay away from it, because it will just leave a sour taste in your mouth with no pleasent side effects.

Summary: One hell of a 'good' read...
Review: Let's get one thing straight before getting into this book. Assume nothing. 'At Last There Is Nothing Left To Say' is a collection of varied manifestos and short stories penned by Canadian musician (and now author) Matthew Good. The stories follow no direct path and wander all over the place, but always for the better and more thought-provoking. Good has an obvious talent for exposing the difficult, bitter truths in our everyday lives, and does so in the various stories throughout. And on top of that, many of the stories will actually make you laugh (and probably cry), if not from the story itself then from the grim reality of all that Good throws at you. From the thoughts of an opium-riddled traveller to the media's exploitation of a so-called 'miracle kid,' Good conveys tons of intelligent and quirky ideas within the 170+ pages of his book. Be warned, though, that this isn't a read for everyone. While Matt does an excellent job of writing the book, you have to be kinda-sorta already initiated with his prior works (and by that I mean his amazing music). If you've never listened to a Matthew Good album or know nothing of Matt in general, then you'll probably be caught a bit off-guard with this particular piece of print. But for fans of Matt who haven't already read this, go crazy! I find it interesting that many of the things mentioned in 'At Last...' have now made it into Matt's actual song lyrics. It's kind of like a little bonus if you've read the book, and then hear the lyrics later on in a song. ("Hey! I know he means in that line!") Overall, 'At Last There Is Nothing Left To Say' ranks as one of my favorite books ever. If only for the grim portrait of our day-and-age that Matt paints. I could go on and on praising this book, but I'll leave it up to you to read it and draw your own conclusions. That's the beauty of opinion, isn't it? And with that, I'm out.
