4.0 out of 5 stars punk rock poetry 14 Sep 2000
By maggieloveshopey
Format:Paperback
a great read - the story of punk band HardCoreLogo, their life on the road, the split, the reformation. I lent my copy to someone and never got it back so I'm going to order another. Essential reading for anyone interested in 80's American alternative music. Oh, and it's all written in blank verse....but don't let that put you off, this is a highly enjoyable read

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK BLEW ME AWAY!!! 10 Dec 2002
By Mat Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I had seen the movie Hard Core Logo years ago when it first premiered here in Canada, but never picked up the book until a friend recommended it to me. He read it in one sitting and told me I wouldn't be able to put it down. Well, I took it to work with me and finished it before the shift ended! This is the most amazingly written book I have ever read.

Hard Core Logo is the story of a punk band on one last tour trying to regain not only the glory of their past days atop the Punk Genre, but also to rekindle the flame they used to have for the business, and get paid as well.

What makes this book so interesting is that it is written in verse, telling the story through poems, song lyrics, answering machine messages, letters and the diary of Ox, the bands neurotic bass player.

The characters, the setting and the entire story is laid out just by the spoken and written words of the band members. You don't need any more explanation beyond what is given to you. It may sound strange, but no book has ever grabbed me the way this one did! You just have to read it to understand how different and how good it really is!

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard Core Disappointment 22 Jun 2000
By Jeffrey Gandell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It seems like Hard Core Logo is an example of a book that was not quiet as good as the film that was made out of it. Perhaps I expected too much upon seeing the excellent film first, but I can't help but be disappointed with the book. It's novel in verse format is clever, although skimpy. I feel that Turner had a great story to tell, but left out all the best parts. The characters are underdeveloped and the whole story feels empty and unfulfilling. It is a very short book (it took me about three times as long to watch the movie than read the book), and while this is not necessarily a bad thing, I felt that there had to be more in this book to make it work. A great idea, a great basis for a movie, this book is a bit too hollow to be thoroughly enjoyed. Check out American Whisky bar instead, it's way better and a great book in itself.
5.0 out of 5 stars Hard Core Logo Review 10 April 2007
By V. E. Pushchak - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about the behind the scene antics of rock bands on the road. It is very amusing and you can really picture all these things happening while the band is trying to get back together etc. The characters are really fresh and make you feel like you are a part of the crowd.
