This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl by Paul Brannigan

3.0

---

This book took me almost 3 years to get through... The first half was a really tough slog; a history of punk in America and how it impacted Grohl and his contemporaries. For me, not having any background in the genre it was dense. The Nirvana bit on to the making of Wasting Light took about four days and was half of the book. I learned a bunch I didn't know, some cool background on some of the songs that I didn't know I.e. "I Should Have Known" wasn't about Kurt Cobain.

In any case, this was a solid book for big fans of Grohl and Foo Fighters. I'd definitely recommend it.
