Here are some reviews of 
Got To Make It!:  

   
Got To Make It! is the evocative story of a 60's rock band that almost did. It begins in (where else?) a suburban garage, with two 14-year-olds armed with a ukulele, a guitar from Sears, and a dream--and ends with Eadon's discovery, decades later, that the band has acquired a retro cult following in Europe.

His account of adolescent boyhood is funny and perceptive--his portraits of his parents, and of his changing relationships with them, are especially moving.

Eadon takes us with him through the band's adventures, disappointments, and exhilarations, fueled by ambition, drive, and just enough fame to keep them going. But ultimately the book is about something much greater than fame--the joy, and the wonder, of creating and making music. That's what makes this page turner truly special.

Jack Eadon is a writer with heart, with guts, with talent. You can feel the emotion, the action. Got To Make It! is a great trip back to the sixties. Enjoy the ride. I did.

It was Marshall McLuhan who first realized that "the medium is the message." Well, for almost every child of the sixties, the medium with the most meaningful message was music. Jack Eadon taps into that powerful era with his wonderful coming-of-age story Got To Make It!.  From a suburban Chicago garage to ultimate--and inadvertent--success as Eastern Bloc cult heroes, the melodic exploits and poignant expectations of Jack and his rock group unfold with extraordinary insight and infectious enthusiasm. Often sounding like a hip Holden Caulfield, Jack's remarkably self-perceptive dialogue is witty, wry, and consistently captivating. Got To Make It! not only captures the heart and soul of rock 'n' roll, it also marvelously rekindles the boundless enthusiasm, fearful emotions, and far-reaching dreams of every youngster who ever believed in the power of music to change the world. For a special treat, check out the ENCORE! CD as you're reading Got To Make It!.

Got To Make It! takes Jack's Eadon's creative abilities one more step as he provides a narrative of what was once a powerful musical escapade.  And the story behind that adventure adds dimension to the overall experience. The journey is like a time machine, transporting you back to a time when we were learning about connecting, family, friends, and love. All the hurts and triumphs are as real as can be as you ride the waves of a bunch of kids making it in life. Got To Make It! is fun reading whether you chased the rock and roll rainbow yourself or you're just curious about what really happened behind the scenes. My advice is to put on a pair of comfortable bell bottoms and a ratty old t-shirt. Then sit back, hang on, and enjoy!
