| Plot Summary of Kiss and Make-Up |
|---|
"Kiss fans will love Gene Simmons' biography. He is a fascinating creature with an equally fascinating story to tell. Not just another bio where the author is satisfying his sense of gratification, Gene Simmons is honest & forthright.He tells of his personal plight as a Jewish immigrant & how he rose above humble beginnings to become one of the biggest rock starts. What I especially enjoyed was Gene's entrepreneurial insight & his genius to achieve great heights. Read it & take yourself back in time. You'll be singing "I was made for lovin' you" over & over."
