I LOVE mythology of all kinds, but I’ve been in a bit of Norse mythology bubble lately and this was everything I hoped it would be and then some!
This story was so beautiful and heartbreaking, and I loved how stories I already know were told from a new perspective. It made me see familiar characters in a new light and I absolutely loved it. I really loved the writing and the way it painted the picture for me.
I’m surprised that this book doesn’t have higher ratings, I feel like it deserves more.

I listened to the expanded audio for this and I think that really made the experience. It was great to hear Dave’s story in his own voice.
I have a hard time rating memoirs because this is someone’s life that I have been invited to look into. Yes, it’s edited and carefully composed to show us the things the author wants us to see, but it’s also a deeply personal journey that has been opened to anyone who wants to take it.
I loved hearing about the experiences Dave Grohl has had in his life that brought him to where he is now. The timeline was a little hard to follow occasionally, but I think he did a great job putting the reader in the moment with him. He spoke about some hard things and expressed both humility and gratitude in a way that I found refreshing.
It’s clear this man values his family above all, and that he cherishes human connection in his passion. I started this book as a Foo Fighters and Nirvana fan, but I don’t think that’s a necessity to find value in this book. If you love music and you love memoirs, especially those penned by the subject in question, you can’t go wrong here.

I am confused as to why the ratings on this are not higher, but maybe that’s because I went into it completely open minded and just really loved where the story took me.
This was so good! I loved the way the familiar bits of the fairytale were reimagined and woven together to give it a new life. The details were great, the characters were interesting, and I was genuinely surprised by some of the twists and turns.
It was more than surface level. The layering was fantastic and kept me engaged the whole way through. I read this in a day and really just didn’t want to put it down. This was a really good YA book and I am so glad I picked it up!
