       A little back story about the book before I get into my review.
       Gordon Gebert was Ace Frehley's "best friend" growing up. He
       knew him before KISS and then basically ended up becoming his
       lackey, monkey, errand boy. Gerbert ended up running Ace's fan
       club and by the end of the day Ace had filed for bankruptcy and
       claiming that Gebert embezzled money from said fan club. That's
       how this book came about. To set the "record straight" and
       enlighten people who and what Ace is all about. The sole purpose
       of the book is to discredit and assassinate Ace's character by
       dishing on some pretty embarrassing moments in Ace's life No
       stone is left un-turned in trying to paint Ace and lazy,
       dishonest, sex obsessed and a drug addict. With just Gordon
       telling his stories, this book would be very short. So  Bob
       McAdams, another 'best friend" of Ace also adds his own personal
       stories with the same intent of making Ace look stupid. But
       here's the problem, they may have made Ace look really bad, but
       they also made themselves look even dumber than Ace.
       These two clowns brag about having more game than Ace and how
       they could pick up any girl. Maybe they could. But to hear about
       how they drafted off of Ace's fame, name and notoriety is just
       pathetic. They slam Ace for being lazy and not doing sh*t. What
       the f*ck did these two clowns ever do for themselves? Exactly.
       Nothing! I was warned not to read the book because those wanting
       to keep the myth and legend of Ace intact will look at him in a
       different light by the final page. I will say that's somewhat
       true. But a lot of what passes for stories is stuff I already
       knew about. Can't recommend this book at all. The writing is
       below average. It's formatted weird and at the end of the day,
       you just don't care what either has to say. This is a Skip. I
       will say that I did find it interesting how Ace and Vinnie
       Vincent's story about taking advantage of fans is pretty much
       identical to some extent.

       I hate Gordon even more after this interview. Talk about an ego
       out of control. The fact that he would even "joke" that he saved
       KISS is laughable. Sure, he may have saved Ace's life a few
       times over the years. But to say that he is he reason why
       anything relating to [b]KISS[/b] today is attributed to
       him.....Ugh. Shut the f*ck up you idiot. With that said, I
       didn't realize how much he sounds like Peter Criss. Hell, even
       his laugh is similar to his. I guess it's the Brooklyn accent.
