The very first book about the Anglo-American metal band Tool explores not only their uncompromising music but also their unsettling; self-made image based on mythological symbols and arcane theories.The quartet of master musicians ndash; Maynard James Keenan; Danny Carey; Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones ndash; emerged from the club scene in Los Angeles in 1990 alongside their friends Rage Against the Machine; grabbing the concept of heavy music and then completely redefining it. With a sixties-style commitment to art and agit-prop; they have now attained a level of artistic complexity and depth which makes their enduring success a miracle in todayrsquo;s culture of bland; corporate entertainment.Their rise to glory has been one of the stranger rock tales of our time. Joel McIver leaves no detail omitted as he delves into the mystery behind Toolrsquo;s music

But not all of it will apply to you.By Celine DerudderI had fun reading this book. and I did purge my closet afterwards. although I thought I already had done a good job of that not so long ago. which just goes to show! The nagging voice of reason - or shall I say J. Baumgartner - was stronger. So. it works. Theres even a 20-steps-to-purge-your-closet thats pretty perfect.How the book is structured : the main eight or nine reasons why we find ourselves with too many/too small/ too "young" or "old" clothes... each have their own chapter.Of course. the most popular/common reasons come first in the book. and theyre also by far the biggest chapters (and lets face it. if you buy this book youre likely prey to the first reason - namely. buy too much stuff). Each is interesting and illustrated by the story of a certain client.There were no real clicheacute;s. it was relevant and went to the bottom of the matter.The only thing is out of the different reasons listed. only a couple will apply to you. So while the rest of the book is still very interesting and gives you the complete picture. some things wont be directly relevant for you. However. I certainly didnt mind. and I dont see any other way the book could have been written.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Very Helpful GuideBy Meggo13I was able to follow the steps she outlined to go through my wardrobe and I identify the problem areas. The way she it set up is helpful because you can skip right to the section that sounds most like you. I read all of the sections whether they applied to me or not and found useful tips from every chapter. I no longer stand in front of my closet and complain that I have nothing to wear and thats after I gave away 6 trash bags full of clothing. In a short period of time I was able to make a dramatic change to my appearance and I can already feel it reverberating inside with a lighter. brighter. more confident version of myself. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to pull themselves from a rut whether fashion related or just life in general. Great read!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Much Much More Than I ExpectedBy AmandaI found this book exceptional- and there are not many books in the " self help" category - in fact none- that I have put here. Well written with case histories by an intelligent woman who loves what she does with good advice.This advice also. I believe . crosses generational "gaps" so it is relevant whatever your age. She is not fussy about size. economics or stage of life but It is primarily a womans book - it would be great if she wrote one for men - I would be first in line to buy it for my husband!!
