Summary: "Tongue-in-Cheek" Will Never Mean the Same Again: EFO
Review: Given some of the adult-oriented material in EFO, to say that the book is "tongue-in-cheek" is as much a commentary the book's content as on its tone. No doubt, this book is NC-17. But for adults who occasionally indulge their baser urges, or want to, or those who wonder about those who do... EFO is for you. If Disneyland was an adult theme park, then EFO would be its "Small World" ride, and I can only imagine what the little dolls would be wearing (or not wearing) and what they might be singing, or ... egad... doing.But get beyond the shock-value, and EFO is truly informative. That Cohen and Wolloch thoroughly researched their subject matter is clear. They bring the best of Gen X wit and razor insight to bear on topics as weighty as suicide etiquette and as lighthearted as Rock-n-Roll groupies. There are laughs here, and information. Oh, and the pics and charts are a riot... recognize anyone? I did. "Gee, Mom, I never would have thought you were into that!" Get this book. Read it first for a laugh. Then read it for insight. Then remember: if you can't be good, at least have good form.

Summary: More hollywood than reality.
Review: I flipped through it in the book store and is more in line with a collection of pieces from Maxim or FHM magazine. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I thought it was a hoot, but readers should take this book as humor rather than actual advice. For a better treatment of the "outlaw" life or at least the mindset, I highly recommend Violence, Blunders and Fractured Jaws by Marc MacYoung. At least in New York City, there's also two independently published magazines found in most urban music stores. (Meaning, not malls or megastores, but basement studios/LP stores without white teeny-boppers lounging around: Don Diva magazine and F.E.D.S. (Finally, Every Dimension of the Street) As they say, "the real deal"

Summary: A Fun Read!!
Review: I heard these guys on the radio and thought I'd pick up the book. This is some messed up stuff! Especially loved the S/M & traveling to Amsterdam section, but maybe that's just me! The Dave Navorro interview was awesome! I'm buying another copy for my slave!!!

Summary: It'd be zero stars if I could
Review: If you want limp wristed look at weak-kneed weekend warriors thinking they are tough then this is your book. If you've never had a tattoo or a pierce or a motorcycle then buy this book and maybe you can fool your church bingo club into thinking you're a badass. I heard a rumor that the authors are actually a couple of Girl Scouts from Scarsdale. You'll learn more about underground culture by buying the new Wiggles DVD.

Summary: Take it with a grain of salt
Review: It's not a *bad* book, and it certainly held my attention for several trips to the reading room, but as previously mentioned, the advice mostly boils down to "watch your back and don't be a jerk." I did enjoy the writing style, but was irked by its flaws, some minor--spelling expatriate "expatriot," for one--and some major: You can shoot those scary SEMI-automatic weapons in Nevada? Whoop-de-do, you can do that in the People's Republik of Kalifornia, too. It's the automatic weapons (redundantly aka "fully automatic") that are illegal most places and legal (with the proper gubmint permits, of course) in NV. But then, I wouldn't expect that kind of knowledge from LA authors who probably don't even know anyone who owns a real gun. Educational? Not really. But certainly entertaining.

Summary: don't fall for the promotion
Review: Never has so much space been used to say so little. The book doesn't contain anything anyone with an ounce of common sense doesn't already know. If you are considering buying this book because of a deal being offered, skip it. I bought it because of the deal with the Motley Crue book, and I regret it. Just stick with the Crue book and forget this turkey.

Summary: Witty and Bizarre
Review: Oh yes, this is a very cool book. I loaned it to my 16 year-old brother and he thought it was great as well. Of course, we had to keep the whole book loaning thing secret from our parents. It is pretty racy in sections but, for the mature reader, a complete hoot.

Summary: As seen on TV
Review: Okay so maybe you're not gonna learn something you really didn't suspect, but this book is not so much a guide as a hilarious glimpse at the inner workings of our lives. Pick up this book whenever you need to laugh out loud. Wollock and Cohen don't pretend to be experts, but they expertly guide us through the subcultures that make life tolerable. Yes we really do do that.
Open this book to any page and you'll be glad you did. Howard Stern is helping bring this concept to TV and his touch is golden. He wouldn't have gotten involved unless he realized how amazing this concept really is.

Summary: I'm a shill
Review: The facts--I'm partially involved with this book, and know the writers. But so what, I like the book even knowing them. It is funny and at times harsh but always fair. There is truth in these pages; usually it is truth about moments that all too frequently happen without our knowledge. And that is good. So buy the damn book, and eventually not only will you help the writers (and the world to become a true PLUR paradise!!!!!!) but you may even help your faithful reviewer to get enough money to buy more drugs.
