Quality message, although a bit repetitive at times. could've been 25% shorter and deliver the exact same sentiment IMHO.

Nascido e Criado na Margem Sul by Rui Unas

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

Fun read. Growing up in the same area as Rui, and being just a few years younger meant I identified with a lot of the (overly exaggerated) tales from his youth.

It was interesting to learn some of the details around his initial career roles, like his radio experience and first RTP programs. I had no idea, for example, that his production company's headquarters were just 10 minutes away from where I live, in a local shopping mall! Small world!

Lobos Que Foram Homens by Ricardo S. Amorim

informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

This was a surprisingly good read. I was mainly interested in reading about how the band started, sort of expecting to give up half-way through, but Ricardo kept me engaged through the whole thing, and I found myself immersed in the story of one of my favorite bands ever.

Ricardo's approach is elegant and fair, with accounts from current and past members of the band, leaving no stone unturned.

A recommended read not only for fans of Moonspell, but generally anyone interested in learning what it takes to survive in this industry, to throw in your sweat and blood into something you love, and see it through.
