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.
