The Age of Anxiety by Pete Townshend

Well if one of my favorite rock stars writes a novel I'll have to read it. The Age of Anxiety seems to be about too many different things all at once to really make an impact, especially for a book that is fairly short (it did fit in a Catcher in the Rye reference though). It is mostly about the narrator's godson, a rock star, and the various women in his life. It is also about the narrator himself and his feelings about aging. For the most part I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. But the problem is there were just too many threads and many actually do come together a bit too perfectly in the end with a few cheesy soap opera type reveals. C+
