"Jan Zahl and Paal Audestad present a Norwegian band biography that is, both from the look and the content, on the same high level as about everything else that has been done by rock band biographers - also internationally", Dagbladet writes today.- This is so nice to hear, an overwhelmed author tells Kaizernews. Jan Zahl and Paal Audestad have just read Dagbladet's ecstatic review and are relieved and happy today.
- willy b, who wrote the review, isn't a mere nobody in Norwegian rock. He is a living lexicon and has read, seen, and heard everything through the years, both nationally and internationally. That he praises the book in such a way is a very big compliment for us, Jan says.
- This means that we must have done something right in any case! Paal adds.
The award-winning photographer is proud of having 172 of his pictures spread out in atlas format.
The Dagbladet reviewer concludes with the following statement: "And the book in its entirety could hardly be done better!"
- Yes, we just give the citations and leave it to the readers to make up their own mind. This book contains something for everybody, of course most for the fans, but actually, everybody can be interested in this story. The success the band had is well-known for the most, but actually, it doesn't start to go so well before about page 100. There were a lot of bad times before Ompa Til Du Dør saw the light of day in February of 2001. Maybe people aren't really aware of that.
- We can just pass on the request: reading is living!
