diannel_04 's review for:

The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of "Hallelujah" by Alan Light

5.0

Hallelujah is one of my favourite songs. The history of how this book went from a little song on an unreleased album to one of the great hymns of the 21st century is amazing. I have to admit that I had to listen to the Buckley version on YouTube because I couldn't remember hearing it. It's okay but for me no version will ever be better than k.d. lang's at the Vancouver Olympics.

I would recommend this book to any fans of the song.
