The book is many things. It is a history of the Sydney, Australian roots of this band of musicians who had been together since their teens. It is also an attempt to describe the band's grieving process at Hutchence's death which also ended the band.
This book was a good read for me since it jogged my own memories of when they were hitmakers. Almost all of their songs are fast, upbeat music and hardly ever slower sad pieces. For that reason alone, INXS were unique. I'm sorry I never got to see them play live in concert. If you have never heard of INXS, you've probably heard New Sensation, What you Need, Bitter Tears, Don't Change, and Original Sin on the radio.
