He makes it to music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon. But in 1986, in the era of AIDS, MTV, and \"Just Say No\" it's hard to succeed from the closet., especially when your lead singer is hell-bent on being outrageous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZIGGY is an art-school dropout who knows he's destined for something bigger and better in life.

Daron's Guitar Chronicles is a brilliant feat in fiction, far too luminous for this simple 5 star rating.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\u003cem\u003eThe Novel Approach\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. [And] the writing just gets better and better. Some chapters are moving the story along slowly, some are eye opening, and then some chapters have paragraphs or sentences that just hit you over the head with a mallet of sheer awesome.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\u003cem\u003eGay Book Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51773096001824,"sku":"9781963897012","price":18.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f369b002c332540d6900e348bfbe4f6e.webp?v=1780419519","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/darons-guitar-chronicles-volume-1-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
