Summary:Have you ever wondered what dirty secrets Gerard Way may have kept inside all these years? Have you ever thought that perhaps there lay more than just love behind his marriage to Lindsey Ballato? Have you ever seen the glances Way used to shoot his guitarist, and wondered what it might mean? Find out the truth about everything, and get to know what really went on behind the scenes at all those My Chemical Romance shows! It begins in New Jersey, but where does it end? Read the upcoming biography ‘The Life and Lies of Gerard Way’ to find out, to be released in September, 2057. Get your copy soon at a bookstore near you!

Review: Written as a sudo-biography that takes place 45 years from now. Since it is written as a book, rather than in the moment, it allows for an unusual mix of POVs. There are Gerard's sections which address what happened to My Chemical Romance in the first person. Then there is the narrator's story which shows a view of My Chemical from the outside, with explanations of what happened in the "future" represented in the story.

It's an interesting contrast and maybegasoline does an amazing job pulling off the duel narratives.
