Anyone hoping for an unearthing of long lost yarns about Husker Dü, SST legal documents, or remembrances of blinding nights at the leather bar with Rollins, will be sorely disappointed with Bob Mould's foray into the world of rock autobiographies. See A Little Light focuses on two main areas: a checklist of Mould's successes in music, which were all carried out by Bob Mould and no one else. And a look at his lack of success in love. Admittedly, as a music fan, I came to the book wanting a copious amount of thoughts and insight into what it was like to write songs such "Celebrated Summer" or "Changes", and to play in a band such as Husker Du. Unfortunately Mould is more focused on patting himself on the back while also screaming, "Why doesn't anyone love me?" Someone should give him Billy Corgan's number. ( )

Fascinating autobiography. The first half covered ground that I was familiar with, Husker Du, his solo stuff and Sugar, but I pretty much lost track of Mould after Sugar broke up, so the second half was very interesting and eye-opening. He mentioned touring with Sugar in 1992-93 and he specifically mentions playing at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, so I dug my ticket sub out and sure enough, there it was, September 11, 1993! Good memories.

Mould's frank openness was great and I almost felt like his therapist as he rationally talks through his thoughts and feelings. Myself being a straight man, it was interesting to read about gay culture and I thought it was funny that Mould only learned about the different facets of the gay lifestyle in his later years! Overall, I think I was more shocked by the fact that he worked for World Championship Wrestling......!

A great read and well worth the time for any fan of Mould and his music. ( )

The writing is really clunky. It reads like he's still taking speed. ( )

A great read for a fan of any period of his career. It brought back many memories of debauchery from my college days. ( )
