My son, Allen, has been a KISS fan for a long time. The first big concert he ever attended was a KISS performance in Houston in the old Sam Houston Coliseum, which no longer exists. Since Gene Simmons is a part of KISS, Allen would probably get a kick out of this book, which plays off the Chuck Norris meme ("Guns carry Chuck Norris for protection") that you may have seen. Only this time it's Gene Simmons.Samples: Gene Simmons has a yacht . . . in his swimming pool.
When Gene Simmons has a candy bar, it takes off its own wrapper.
Friday the 13th is afraid of Gene Simmons.
There's a lot more, including some great illustrations by Corey Marier and Crag Marier, kids giving their thoughts on Gene Simmons, poetry, wacky definitions, posters from famous movies altered to depict Simmons in the lead role, and even a foreword by Simmons himself, which proves that he's a good sport. Or maybe he believes all this stuff. At any rate, KISS fans and Gene Simmons fans will have to get this, of course, and who can blame them. Others might find some fun in this "authorized parody," too. Check it out.

Whatever other adjective comes to mind when I think of Gene Simmons, "attractive" is not on the list.
