Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory by Mickey Rapkin

3.0

I really enjoyed this book, though it's not the most well written thing I've ever read. I thought it would be more like the movie and had the idea that the movie was inspired by this, but I'm not sure. It was about 3 different a cappella groups (and a few others mentioned throughout), alternating each chapter. It started to feel like one of those stories where the underdog comes out on top or something else inspiring, but the story really didn't go anywhere. It ended up just being a look into the lives of the singers and the way the groups have changed over the years since they were started. I think it would be disappointing to some because of that, and is part of the reason I only gave it 3 stars. But I did enjoy it and needed a light book at the time, so it fit the bill. I bought this book for really cheap because it wasn't at the library, but I'm not mad about that. It's not going to have a prime place on my shelf, but I may read it again if I need another light read.
