Read the first half of this a couple of months ago and had to return it to the library, and it finally came around again. Brilliant read, I can see why it took so long to get back to me!

Great perspective, interesting read and solid advice at the end.

I love Dave Grohl all the more because of his awesome mum!

It's a cool idea, and I enjoyed reading the stories of the artists that I knew. But after a few interviews it gets kinda boring, the way the stories are built up are the same every time...

Not quite as compelling a narrative as I thought it would be, but an entertaining peek into the childhoods of several well known musicians.

I didn't love it as much as I expected to, but I was surprised at the stories I enjoyed the most. Not a fan of Rush, Geddy Lee's mom's story was my favorite. It was fun to hear about rock stars through their mother's eyes.
