Reviews of my rock 'n' roll novel, Getting in Tune, continue to come in. Here are excerpts from a couple of recent reviews. If you haven't checked out my novel, I hope you do. You can read Chapter 1 on my blog, or go to www.rogertrott.com

-----------------
“Anyone who’s been in a band can appreciate the details author Roger Trott uses to flesh out Daniel’s dysfunctional family of musicians…. Daniel’s spiritual and musical guide comes in the form of Pete Townshend, who comes to him in dreams and in hallucinatory Benzedrine whispers…a muse, smirkily taunting his young protégé….The band dynamics and the music of the time are all nicely rendered, and Trott keeps the story rolling along with some colorful plot twists and a great sense of humor. Part road trip and part coming-of-age story, Getting in Tune engaged me and drew me into the band’s adventures. It’s a great read…”

-------------------------

“When opportunity knocks for his band, the Killjoys, to get a week-long gig at the Mai Tai Hotel, Daniel knows this could be the chance he has been so desperately waiting for. From that point on, you are thrown into the lives of not only Daniel, but the whole band…. With Pete Townshend’s voice in [Daniel’s] head as he searches for the Universal Chord, [Daniel] deals with it all with two things: music and pills…. The book is written so well you will feel like you were right there with the Killjoys. I absolutely loved every bit of this book, and will probably read it again. And maybe by the end, you might even find the Universal Chord for yourself.”
