5.0 out of 5 stars Go Now felt so real, so gutsy yet extremely down to earth, 31 Aug 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Now (Paperback)
Richard Hell really knows how to write. This book made me feel just like I was on the road (and in the motels) with the characters. I could actually feel the undeniable pain of Billy his craving for junk, his craving for sex. I read the book in one sitting, not realizing at all that I was doing so. It is so brutally honest and skillfully crafted that you simply must believe in its utter realism. One great read to recommend to anyone who might like music, sex, drugs or just plain good writing. Thank you, Mr. Hell.

5.0 out of 5 stars An articulate tour of Hell and degradation, 30 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Now (Paperback)
The fasciniating thing about Go Now is the fact that it lacks the elements that so many "struggling junky artist" stories seem to use as a crutch: any kind of apology, regret, or pity. Hell exercises the same brilliance and articulation of his lyrics with the Voidoids and Dim Stars in this cut-and-dried, action/reaction novel set in the life of a decadent early eighties NYC junky musician.. a subject Hell, sadly, knows a little about. This book is neither weak nor dull; neither is the author's mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars A hefty insiders look at addiction and habit, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Go Now (Paperback)
Richard Hell has scored with novel Go Now. An insiders look at the internally working of an addict and his skewed but sometimes beautiful view of the world. The writing is lyrical, agile and graceful. Definity the inheritor of the junkie-prose tradition Hell has created a novel that is sublime in spots and gritty in other but all together a thrilling ride
