Interpretation During Books The Armageddon Rag
From #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin comes the ultimate novel of revolution, rock ’n’ roll, and apocalyptic murder—a stunning work of fiction that portrays not just the end of an era, but the end of the world as we know it.Onetime underground journalist Sandy Blair has come a long way from his radical roots in the ’60s—until something unexpectedly draws him back: the bizarre and brutal murder of a rock promoter who made millions with a band called the Nazgûl. Now, as Sandy sets out to investigate the crime, he finds himself drawn back into his own past—a magical mystery tour of the pent-up passions of his generation. For a new messiah has resurrected the Nazgûl and the mad new rhythm may be more than anyone bargained for—a requiem of demonism, mind control, and death, whose apocalyptic tune only Sandy may be able to change in time . . . before everyone follows the beat.

I really wanted to enjoy this one more than I did.I love Martins work. Dont get me wrong, I do not have the most extensive Martin collection, but I have read a decent number. Sadly, however, this one makes the cut as my least favourite George R. R. Martin book. Such a thing really disappoints me as Id been sure that it would win me over in the end.Alas, this book was made up of moments where I was really enjoying it and moments where I just wanted the whole thing to be over. To make mattersMore than four stars, but less than five. It was a pleasure to read (actually devour) so far from the other works of his, that I have read, and the book made me remember the concerts and idols of my youth. Now the old records, casette tapes, and the big reels on my Revox are on again.
Such a weird book. I thought this would be a murder mystery mixed with some good rock music. And it was, for about 1/3 of the story. It was scary and interesting and hard to put down.2/3 was about music. And it was great! I loved every single description of Nazgul on the stage, of concerts and songs - it was so real that I felt like I was right there, singing with the crowd. Those parts were just brilliant and I enjoyed them very, very much. For some reason, I think that ''Ragin'' would be my
A heartfelt ode to the 1960s in the form of a mystery novel centring on a series of murders connected to a fictional Led Zeppelin-esque rock band. Like Dying of the Light, you can feel Martins own experiences bleed through the text. His complex, shifting thoughts and attitudes towards the cultural shift in American society across the twentieth century are filtered through a novel that is in parts road trip, thriller, journalistic odyssey, supernatural horror, and song lyrics. Its strikingly
I wanted to love this book. In fact, I did love it, except for the ending. There are so many things about it that are just fantastic. The music, for instance. Even though you can't actually hear it, you can. You know what it would sound like it if it were real. The Nazgul themselves, sort of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles are wrapped up into one super group. The Tolkien influences. The hints of darkness and the imagery of the end and even the Yeats stuff.But it just didn't come
Okokokok, I love me some George RR Martin, but this book is severely lacking. It is by far the worst I've read from him and in it he accomplishes something I never thought could be possible... he writes some very one dimensional characters!The story is a gigantic leap from the song of ice and fire world and isn't as cleverly crafted as the fevre dream world. The characters in this book are unlikable and stale. The main protagonist is a close minded, hippie, doucebag journalist who is obsessed
This is very important book for my relationship with mr. Martin. :-))When "Song of Ice and Fire" started to get published in my country (Croatia) I was in a phase when I wanted to boycott all US products, because of US attack on whatever country US was attacking at that time.At that point, major question for me was: shall I buy this "Game of Thrones" book by this US writer, or shall I boycott it as any other US product?Fortunately, I have previously read "Armageddon Rag" and I've decided that
