À propos de cet audio
To write the Upsetter Blog, washed-up author Henry Barclay will have to leave behind his adult son Patrick, who has Down syndrome, and follow the Flak Jackets, a rock band of no renown, on a grueling, months-long nightclub tour for the obscure magazine start-up Upsetter. He’s reluctant to take on the assignment, but when Patrick catches the band's act and immediately declares himself their "number one fan", Henry sees a chance to redeem himself after decades of clumsy parenting.
Setting out from Los Angeles and blasting through the deserts of Southern California and up the West Coast, Henry quickly learns how tough this job will be. He did not expect he would become obsessed with the mystery behind lead singer Jack Hackett's tortured wailing and violent onstage antics. He did not expect he would fall in love with Jack's new girlfriend, Wendy, who's along for the ride. Faced with Jack's hostile stonewalling and struggling to hold back his own feelings for Jack's girl, Henry can only hang on tight and keep writing, filling in the blanks Jack leaves with musings about his own troubled past - and watching in horror as life on the road takes its toll, and Jack's fragile world begins to fall apart.

Life, relationships, hardships, and dreams
I went into this story blind, not knowing what to expect, and came out of it with something more. It was a pleasant surprise to be whisked away by such a great storyteller. The author has an incredible talent for weaving life into prose. There were a few scenes that normally would have caused me to lose interest, but the writing kept me invested and undiscouraged. The observations and stunning detail were at times, mesmerizing. The main character, Henry is someone I grew to care about, along with his son and the members of the rock band, The Flak Jackets. Henry captures the band’s tour through his writing for a blog and magazine, which spills over to everything that goes on behind the scenes including relationships, pasts, experiences, sadness, reflection, grittiness, and feelings. The story arcs through several months, and along the way, real-life events unfold. I listened to the audiobook version and was at times, captivated. The narrator’s voice and style were a perfect fit for the story. The artwork on the cover is spot-on in capturing the feel for the book. I felt like I knew the characters and could see the scenes vividly before me. I can’t recommend this book enough for fans of music, art, and the pursuit of dreams. Not perfect, but overall, an excellently written book.
