Book Review of Petal Pusher: A Rock and Roll Cinderella Story

Petal Pusher: A Rock and Roll Cinderella Story
lildrafire avatar reviewed on + 117 more book reviews


Choppy and sometimes incoherent, Laurie Lindeen recounts her story of the turbulent beginnings of her Minneapolis all girl rock and roll band, Zuzu's Petals. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is the anthem screamed by Lindeen's book, regardless of Lindeen's own lack of confidence and obligatory 1980's angst.. There is no doubt, You, the reader, are along on this journey--the good, the bad, the frequently ugly and incomprehensible. Sometimes juvenile, always brutally honest, the story evolves and grows up, finally, leaving the reader with a sense of relief that Lindeen, finally, is at peace with her past and ready to face the future with her head held up high.

Disclosure: This book was given to the reader by the publisher/author in exchange for an objective review.
