Reviews for Hellfire: The Jerry Lee Lewis Story

The number one greatest music book ever * Observer * Quite simply the best rock and roll biography ever written * Rolling Stone * The best rock 'n' roll biography ever written . . . There is a novelistic intensity to this story of tragedy, triumph and love. Its portrayal of a society alien to mainstream America is riveting * Newsday * Brilliant . . . the best account we have of how the first rock and rollers were torn between salvation and the Devil's music * New Statesman *
