Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance

Well written and easy to read. Lots of insights into the band and the individual members, history and some great anecdotes. Well worth a read!

a good read

A fandom classic

I call it bible

An absolutely brilliant, well-written, thoroughly researched account of the rise and fall of the band from a journalist with a long-standing relationship with the band and access to their collaborators and friends. Though not technically "authorized" the biography is phenomenal and provides deep insight through numerous interviews with the band over many years and with their important and sometimes high profile collaborators. I wish the author would do an update to talk about the reunion tour.

Book came damaged but they replaced it asap! It's a great read so far, really enjoying it!

This book is fantastic. Though it wasn't officially sanctioned by the band it did have their blessing. One reporter follows the journey of the band from humble beginnings to mega stardom. The writing style is very warm and makes the boys feel like your best friends. I've read this biography several times since I bought it and still love it. My Chem fans and music lovers alike will enjoy this book.
