Book Reviews of Touch Me I'm Sick
Book Review: larger then rock and roll
Summary: 5 Stars
Charles Peterson's photographs make tangible an unwashed world of sound. More then just a pictoral history of the Seattle grunge scene, Peterson does a extraordinary job at depicting the motion and abandon of adolescent energy. Sure there are images (candid and captivating) of the usual suspects (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Mud Honey) but the images taken at shows all over the world of the audience members in mosh pits, stage diving, and totally rocking out start talking about something much larger then rock and roll and reveal the solid artistic nature of Peterson's work. Touch Me I'm Sick is more then mere photo documentary of a particular time in musical history it reveals disaffected youth attempting to connect with something much larger.Book Review: Excellent Collection of Photos
Summary: 5 Stars
Charles Peterson's latest offering of photos is nothing short of brilliance. His is the sort of brilliance that comes from living in and loving the world that he is capturing on film. Charles is a master at capturing a moment in time, a moment so fleeting that even if you were standing next to him you might miss it yourself... But Charles captures the moment with such precision that from simply viewing the photos you can feel the power of the music, smell the cigarette smoke in the air, hear the roar of the crowd, and expreience the crush of the most pit 10, 15, even 20 years later. Punk, Rock, Metal... If you are a fan of music this book is not to be missed.Book Review: A CRAZED, KINETIC MASTERPIECE!
Summary: 5 Stars
A divine marriage of vision, design and subject matter. Peterson's wild, free and spontaneous shooting style provides the perfect visual metaphor for the beer-stained and adrenaline-stoked Seattle grunge era. His pictures look like the music sounds - reckless, courageous, and always threatening to spin completely out of control.An aggresive book design and a minimum of text keeps the emphasis where it belongs - on the music's energy and the exhilarating, ritual co-dependence of performers and fans. You can't slam out power chords on a Leica M6 - but Peterson comes closer than any other "Rock" photographer at pulling it off.

Book Review: Worth every peso
Summary: 5 Stars
E' Bom Demais!Even if you weren't around in the day, Charles' photographs tell magnificent stories, each one. Where most R&R "picture takers" go wrong is in forgeting the passion and the association between the audience and the music. "Touch me I'm Sick" captiures those perfect moments, putting you right down on the floor to trip over somebody who spent all their money downinga $3 pitchers. Right On!
Book Review: Great photographer for someone who wasn't there
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike the other reviewers of this work, I was not there. I just love the artful quality photos in a book that is a collection item. The detail of the photos and the quality of the printing make this a work to savor. This is a forever book, should be on all shelves of collectors of fine photography.
