The review written by Richard Aquila brings to light notable criticisms of Glen C. Altschuler’s book called All Shook Up. The comments undermine his argument and take away from emphasizing the cultural influences of Rock ‘n’ Roll. However, better fact checking and a familiar look at Motown would make him a more credible author.
Aquila points out there are many errors in the facts stated throughout the book. Simple mistakes are made that could have been easily avoided with thorough fact checking. For example, Altschuler lists the wrong title of a famous Rock ‘n’ Roll song by Danny and the Juniors’ (Aquila 1). While the content of the book is still engaging, the inaccuracy of the details is distracting and gives less weight to the facts used
