A page turner to the nth-degree!
I could not put this book down. I was even reading it while walking to the subway, to the market, etc. This is a totally new genre for me and I was sorry to see the whole story end. Somewhere on the internet are photos of the house. Amazing... what they did... Giffel is a fantastic, gifted writer and without his style and skill this book would not have been as much fun.

The early years in depth
We Are Devo is a great read. Everything from 1971 through the release of the first LP is covered in detail. The first 190 pages are a captivating snapshot of the evolution of devolution. I do feel the need to detract 1 star for only having 40 pages devoted to years 1979 to 2002. I realize that 'not too much' happened in the later years, but the coverage is a bit too non-existent. Recommended!
