A funny and sardonic play about two brothers trapped in a love triangle with the woman they both love. Two brothers share the house they grew up in and then share the woman they both love. But as time passes and their family grows; the ties that bind them are tested to the limit. Spanning thirty years and offering a new slant on the eternal triangle; the plot is driven by involuntary cruelties; damaging accidents of fate and the terrible ravages of time. a damned fine play - Express

He warns us die-hard KISS fans that he may shatter some illusions. And he does just that. (As a Black KISS fanatic; it was painful to read that the guy who auditioned right before Ace was almost in; except he was Black). But Genes honesty and his detailed documenting of a very interesting life is well worth it. And Gene really shows himself; overall; to be a standup man of his word. Materialistic; but straightforward about it and fair. Paul comes off surprisingly well; considering the rampant rumors of tension between him and Gene. Peter and Ace? Not so much. Especially Ace looks really bad in Genes memoirs. But if you have read the book by Aces longtime old lady; none of this will surprise you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I was expecting more...Left me a bit wanting moreBy J willieI grew up with this group. Posters on the walls and the albums on the record player. I read the Peter Cris book first. The Ace book second and they were hard to put down. I finished them both in little time. With Genes book it started out OK but then seemed to just fizzle. In comparison to P Cris book and Ace Freely; Genes seems to be more about him with occasional sprinkles of the rest of the band here and there. I really enjoyed how the first two books mentioned above really encompassed the life and events of the band as a whole as well as dealing with the personal events of each artist. With Genes book it was almost like a chore to finish it. I felt like I had invested the time to start so I didnt want to give up and quit in it but it certainly left me wishing it had been a little more interesting.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. More of what we knew about Gene; but a goood read.By thelareAny Kiss fan will know most of what hes going to find here. Genes personality; ego; business philosophy; etc. And the girls in the thousands. What was most interesting to me was the story of his birth; early years; and coming to America. I also read Ace Frehleys book; "No Regrets" and it seems that each of the 3 members who wrote a book each have slightly different memories of the same events. Not unusual; (some would accuse the Bible of the same thing) but interesting nonetheless. I did get a little weary of Genes Ace-bashing. I mean; its been a long time since Kiss was at the top of the rock world; and it seems hed let some bygones be bygones. All that aside; Genes an interesting and successful man in an industry where success is hard to come by and although hell never be in the bassists hall of fame his contribuiton to rock n roll is a part of history.
