Books of the Year - Planet Rock (UK) Books of the Year - Herald Sun (Australia) Books of the Year - Loud Online (Australia) Books of the Year - All Music Books (USA) Praise for  Bon: The Last Highway  by Jesse Fink: "A fascinating portrait of a troubled man with a serious alcohol addiction... the literary equivalent of a road movie."  - Ronan McGreevy,  Irish Times "I read this book in seven hours, with a 20-minute break for dinner, and put it down almost breathless at the non-biased, staggering research.  Bon: The Last Highway  is probably one of the best books I've ever read - on anything! And I read a lot. This book goes up to 11! Extremely well done. A magnificent book." -  Paul Chapman, guitarist, UFO "Crossing continents and tracking key figures down, Fink's work is impressive; his book is exhaustively investigative and engrossing." -   Exclaim   "Painstakingly researched." -  Dangerous Minds "Phenomenal." -  Sirius XM VOLUME "Debatable" "Brilliant writing, many revelations. A must-read. Astonishingly good reporting." -  Lori Majewski, SiriusXM VOLUME "Feedback" "A great page-turner... a riveting read." -  The Rockpit (Australia) "Jesse Fink is not the first writer to suggest there's something fishy about the official version of [Bon] Scott's death and its aftermath, but no one else has offered such a plausible or exhaustively researched alternative theory... vindicating old-school journalistic rigour, Fink compiled a vast testimony from multiple sources and invites the reader to decide where the truth lies,  Rashomon -style. This is no easy task: key witnesses are either dead, like [Alistair] Kinnear, or their memories are clouded by the fog of war, like UFO's Paul Chapman and Pete Way. But as with his previous book, the absence of co-operation from the AC/DC inner circle has been to Fink's benefit... [he has] effectively undertaken the detective work that wasn't conducted at the time. It's a dense, tangled tale but Fink reveals the humanity behind the myth: Bon was a flawed, conflicted character, trapped in a persona, who ultimately chose the path he took and got unlucky." -  Keith Cameron,  MOJO The death of Bon Scott is the  Da Vinci Code  of rock. The legend of the man known around the world simply as "Bon" grows with each passing year; in death, AC/DC's trailblazing frontman has become a rock icon. But how much of it is myth? At the heart of  Bon: The Last Highway  is a special -- and unlikely -- friendship between an Australian rock star and an alcoholic Texan rebel. Jesse Fink, author of the critically acclaimed international bestseller  The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC , reveals its importance in Bon's story for the first time. Leaving no stone unturned in a journey that begins in Austin, 1977, and ends in London, 1980, Fink takes the reader back to the end of the '70s, a legendary era for music that saw the relentless AC/DC machine achieve its commercial breakthrough but also threaten to come apart. With unprecedented access to Bon's lovers, newly unearthed documents, and a trove of never-before-seen photos, Fink divulges startling new information about Bon's last hours to solve the mystery of how he died. Music fans around the world have been waiting for the original, forensic, unflinching, and masterful biography Bon Scott so richly deserves -- and now, finally, it's here. Praise for Bon: The Last Highway by Jesse Fink: "A fascinating portrait of a troubled man with a serious alcohol addiction... the literary equivalent of a road movie." - Ronan McGreevy, Irish Times "Just like the object of his desire (it is his second book on AC/DC), Fink is prone to perfectionism. He meticulously dedicates himself to the last three years in the life of Ronald Belford Scott ... Fink's book is a real gift for the fans of the tragically and much too early deceased singer." - Classic Rock (Germany) "Of the 20-plus books written about AC/DC, this one comes closest to the truth about how former singer Bon Scott died and his uncredited legacy as a songwriter... not just for fans, this is equal parts cautionary tale and meticulously researched document." - Courier Mail (Australia) " Fink's book meticulously explores the man and the many myths about Scott's life and death, and his hell of a ride in between." - Herald Sun (Australia) "A literary masterpiece." - Soundanalyse (Germany) "One of the most important publications on AC/DC... Fink has become something of an AC/DC detective and shines light on parts of the AC/DC story which have always been dimly lit. Music fans around the world have been waiting for this book - and it does not disappoint." - Denis Gray, Australian Rock Show "I read this book in seven hours, with a 20-minute break for dinner, and put it down almost breathless at the non-biased, staggering research. Bon: The Last Highway is probably one of the best books I've ever read - on anything! And I read a lot. This book goes up to 11! Extremely well done.
