If you are a fan of the Beastie Boys, hip-hop, or even just the 80s, this is a must-read. At times it is laugh-out-loud funny, and at others it is like reading the private diary of Mike D and ADROCK as they delve into the personal issues in their lives that lead to some really great music. But most of all, this book is about friendship and how valuable that can be when other things in your life are falling apart.
