4.0
Written alternately in sneering detachment spiced with irony and poetically vivid prose, "Night Moves" serves as a love letter to a time and place. Whether on two wheels or two feet, Hopper guides you through mid-oughts Chicago, taking the reader inside her life as a girl-about-town at all hours. The descriptions merit five stars, but too much of the prose about music and culture called to mind an eye-rolling hipster talking at you through a sigh, "If you have to ask you'll never know." Indeed, I had heard of very few of the namechecked musicians, which would have given Jessica and her friends a great deal of amusement at the hick who's never heard of ____.
Nonetheless, this is for people who love Chicago, music and the music of Chicago, which isn't always something you can play or compose.
