Summary: Sex, drugs, &rock & roll in their highest literary form.
Comment: Jambeaux is an enthralling, thought-provoking portrait of the drug-and-sex crazed madness of the rock&roll world. Gonzales hypnotizes his readers and leads them through a plastic nightmare world that becomes all too real because of the universality of his characters' thoughts and emotions. Much like Steinbeck's East of Eden, beautifully crafted prose and significant reflections on human nature are artfully blended with a light smattering of subtle smut. The honesty of Gonzales' voice will make you wince, but that's what truth does sometimes. His dialogue is witty, raw, and real. The sheer energy of Gonzales' style moves his story with the speeding, head-rush pace of Kerouac's On the Road, while maintaining a quality of lucid readability, and of course, a plot. My only complaint was Gonzales' apparent preference for the comma over the semicolon. Overall, a raw, powerful, intensely readable story of an innocent trip to hell and a search for redemption. Not bad for a first novel.
