5.0

Sometimes you live a biography that makes you feel so close to the subject, that you feel like you know them inside out. Reading The Storyteller is a blessing in itself: you find yourself graceful for things you've never been grateful before. Not only is Dave a great writer, but his story is incredibly inspiring - I find my own life enriched with the multiple lessons that he graciously shared with us. A must read, even if you are not a fan of music or the Foo Fighters.
