I received a free copy of, Room 100, by Jesse P. Pollack, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, were in love, and rock and rollers, unfortunately, Nancy was murdered, by Sid. This was a sad read, so much talent thrown away, by drugs.

A huge thank you to the publisher who gave me an advanced e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’d always thought that Sid and Nancy died together, in a suicide pact. Not only did I learn that wasn’t at all what happened, but I learned so much more – about them and about the whole punk rock scene of the seventies.

Many rumors and theories of what happened the night Nancy Spungen died have circulated over the decades. In interviewing those who knew the couple, studying the police records of both deaths, and developing a timeline of the night in question, Jesse P. Pollack shows us which theories *could* be true, and which could not. The world may never know for sure who stabbed Nancy, but what we do know is that both Sid and Nancy were doomed long before they met, thanks to their respective mothers.

This is a must-read for any punk rock fan, and, really, anyone who’s interested in music history.

Jesse P. Pollack does a fantastic job in writing this type of book, I thought this worked as a way of showing the tragic story of Sid and Nancy. The overall research was there and worked with the interviews and true crime element.

4 stars

I love anything and everything Sid and Nancy. This is a great addition to their story. There is a lot of interesting and new (to me) things within these pages. The writing was done well, and I enjoyed a lot of the interviews.
