Book Review of The Grand Illusion: Love, Lies, and My Life With Styx

The Grand Illusion: Love, Lies, and My Life With Styx
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


I found the book disappointing.

I have read many books by or about bands. I like to read about how the band formed, came up, the highs and lows, crazy things that happened behind the scenes that you never knew.

This book is about 1/3 Styx and 2/3 about Chuck Panozzo's life from birth to now and how being gay plays into his life.
I expected a book about Styx but got a book about Chuck being gay with Styx mixed in.

For the most part Styx sounds like it was a fairly low keyed band.
