The man affected me on all the levels no matter how much I tried to resist, damn it.’ **** ‘Jimmy Ferris as an illegal, dangerous, controlled substance. Maybe our expectations for the rest of the series following Lick have been mistaken and the mood and emotion which wow’ed us so incredibly much in Lick was not how the rest of the series was intended to play out and if so, then that’s on us. Whilst we certainly did enjoy Lead we feel the original formula is something we really miss and we’re beginning to think that maybe this lays on us. ‘The man was cracking before my eyes and watching him come apart felt like torture.’ Now, don’t get us wrong, we had plenty of laughs and there were certainly a couple of moments in Lead that pulled on our heartstrings but we missed the emotion that was so prevalent in the first book. We did see the occasional glimpses but just expected more…. After all, Jimmy had demons he carried around for years and was personally responsible for nearly driving the band apart. We thought this book was going to destroy us. His was the story we felt was going to tug at the emotions and we expected to witness and feel his pain first hand. The tortured soul in a band full of larks.
Jimmy’s always been a fascinating character. David and Ev stole our hearts, we ‘felt’ their story and it’s still one of our favourite rock star books out there!
That story had the perfect balance of emotion, humour and character development.
Lick set the standard for the Stage Dive series for us.
