As a fan of Jan and Dean as well as the Beach Boys, I was happy
to see a book out on one of my favorite groups of the 1960s, namely, Jan
and Dean. I was disappointed in the quality of the book mainly due to
the number of typos throughout and the constant use of profanity. I did
enjoy reading the story of Jan and Dean’s early days, but felt that
quite a bit was left out of the later years. What was Jan doing all
those years before the group went back on tour? Dean did a good job of
describing his award-winning work with Kitty Hawk Graphics, but I would
like to know more about Jan and his recovery from the automobile crash
that nearly killed him. Dean is one of the few people able to tell us
about this. The book is interesting as an example of life of rock stars
of the Sixties.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try any of the recent books on the history of The Beach Boys.]
