Martin Popoff - Driven: Rush In The 90's - BookThe book is 415 pages, comprising, along with Anthem and Limelight, my deepest dig into Rush ever. Hopefully this trilogy will stand as the most definitive book on this period, although theres no stopping Rush scholarship. Like the first two, its a textured hard cover book, sweetly appointed with foil and embossing, this time with a gold theme. There are two eight page colour sections, but other than that, its a 144,000 word deep dive into the closing

The book is 415 pages, comprising, along with Anthem and Limelight, my deepest dig into Rush ever. Hopefully this trilogy will stand as the most definitive book on this period, although there’s no stopping Rush scholarship. Like the first two, it’s a textured hard cover book, sweetly appointed with foil and embossing, this time with a gold theme. There are two eight-page colour sections, but other than that, it’s a 144,000-word deep dive into the closing quarter century of the band covering:

  • Roll the Bones
  • Counterparts
  • Test for Echo
  • Vapor Trails
  • Snakes & Arrows
  • Clockwork Angels

Plus all the live albums and, most unfortunately, the shocking personal tragedies that befell this superlative Canadian institution along the way, in the late ‘90s and “In the End.”

Inspired by what I had to do on my recent Led Zeppelin and Clash books (i.e. writing 500 words on every single song), there’s far more song-by-song analysis than I stuck in any of my Rush titles previous to the trilogy. But there’s also a trove of unseen first-hand interview material with the band as well as engineers, producers, managers and other industry movers an’ shakers.

Here’s blurb on ‘er that went out to the book industry:

In what is the conclusion to a trilogy of authoritative books on what is unarguably Canada’s most beloved and successful rock institution ever, author Martin Popoff takes us through the arc of three decades in the lives of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. Addressed is life at the top, unceasing due to the throngs of fans showing up to Rush shows through to the sombre end of this book, but also due to a decade that begins with the brisk-selling Roll the Bones album. But there is also unimaginable tragedy along the way, with one of the world’s greatest drummers, Neil Peart, losing his daughter and his common law wife within the space of ten months, then his own life to cancer four years after the band’s retirement, shocking, unexpected, resulting in an amending of this tome already long written. In between however, there is a gorgeous and heartbreaking album of reflection and bereavement, as well as a conquering trip to Brazil, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and—some say surprisingly—the band’s first full-blown concept album to close an immense career marked by integrity and idealism.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
