This book is amazing. The way it is written, split up, and the information it contains is totally worth the time reading. It made me feel like I was there observing them in the studios, on tour, and everything. When I finished, I was sad that the journey had ended.
I have almost no recollection of this book other than reading it on the beach during Spring Break of 8th grade and loving it... So I guess that's something?
