"Fink's look at the band addresses the question that he believes most mainstream rock critics have never been able to answer about AC/DC: 'Why have they endured and resonated with hundreds of millions of people and inculcated such fierce loyalty and outright fanaticism?' The answer is the unrelenting tenacity of the Young brothers... fascinating."

"This thought-provoking book definitely breaks some new ground. Arrangement by chapters dedicated to specific songs is a satisfying way of telling the AC/DC story while providing music criticism. Scholarly fans will appreciate the bibliography. This one's a must-read for fans."

"A great narrative... it has one very simple, very powerful message for those who would like to dismiss AC/DC as childish hacks: 'Stop being so bloody pretentious!' Thank you, Jesse Fink, for talking some sense into me. 'No matter how hard you try not to react to their music, it's impossible. You cannot listen to an album like Back in Black and not move,' Fink tells me. 'That's what I wanted to celebrate with this book -- the idea that it's okay to rock.' Damn straight, it's about time somebody said it."
