Ooh, i've been meaning to buy that book!
I actually think the description of them was rather funny and i'm pretty sure Gerard would've been thrilled when he read that they were mentioned. :D

I'm glad you guys told me MCR was in it. It's been siting on my shelf and I needed the push.

Hahaha! Anyone imagine Mikey or Ray in black lipstick!?
:lmfao: OMG!!! Maybe Gerard likes the book cuz of that little description. If i had a band and someone wrote about us like that, i'd be like "KICK ASS!" But then again thats just me. I thought it was funny. I'll have to get that book.

The promo preview is available from Free Comic Book Day, but not the comic itself.

Perhaps the author should have checked out fangirl message boards before describing them...

Huh. I will not be able to buy this, but maybe the library would have it. I'll check it out. Looks good.

The whole book mentioning them, and Gerard recommending it in an interview seems a little suspicious to me.

He rec's a book with him in it?

Nothing against the book, personally I loved it, and nothing against him, but does anyone else think a deal went down?
Maybe.

Gerard probably heard about the book because there is an MCR reference in it, then read the book and really liked it.

It's a really good book. It would still be a really good book without the MCR ref in it.

He said in the interview that he was currently reading it no? That part was a hundred pages or so in and he might not've gotten to it yet.

& The Umbrella Academy doesn't come out until September 19.

Yeah, I know. I was thinking of the preview that came out on Free Comic Book Day... So now I feel stupid... Embarassed

And yeah, maybe he just didn't get to that part, or maybe thought that MCR fans would get a little surprise when they read the book...

Yeah, I'm not saying it's bad or anything. I loved the book and had a complete spazz attack when I saw the band in it, I guessi'm just cynical like that.

Sorry if I made anything look bad Embarassed

I bet, if anything, Joe's manager called up MCR's manager and asked, "hey, Stephen King's son is writing this story about a rock star and a ghost and he wants include you in the book, is that cool?." Andthe band being cool like they are probably said, "hell yeah, send us a copy when it comes out."

i must admit i laughed when i read that in the book, it just tickled me to think that MCR would be in a book, usually authors talk about old bands, but to have a relatively (i said Relatively!) new band was just cool.

i personally loved the book, it was interesting and it kept me turning page after page, i would really recommend reading it. It's in large type and it's not clogged down with painfully detailed character analysis, it's descriptive and straight to the action.

very worth a read, even if you're just looking for the bit about MCR.

Not really an accurate description, but yay for MCR being in a horror novel!

It's what they'd want, right? xD
