Incredible memoir of a true rock fan

Revisado: 10-24-21

This audiobook has instantly dropped itself into my favorites of all time and for good reason. Not only can Dave paint a beautiful picture of his recounts throughout his rise, but hearing HIM tell it to you?!

Aside from the obviousness of how great it is to have the opportunity to hear Dave Grohl tell you some insight on his mind, he truly does a wonderful job keeping the listener/reader involved. Few times do you get a autobiography or memoir that is as lean and driven as this is.

Definitely a recommend for anyone loves Dave for all that he has blessed us with in music, or for anyone who says "Hey. Isn't that that-guy from Nirvana?"

Such an amazingly woven tale

Revisado: 11-24-20

Matheson never seases to fail at keeping me wanting more. His stories may not be the goriest or "in-your-face" scary, but the way things are laid out in such a delicate balance gives you a great sense of unease throughout the whole run. This is definitely a book for the decades!

Peace seekers!!

Revisado: 10-07-20

INCREDIBLE! When this world starts heading towards actual peace and enlightenment, this book and Brian's research will be the foundation for the movement! Heard him talk about his book from the Joe Rogan Experience and immediately sought it out. Not only does he make a compelling hypothesis but his narrative skills are outstanding! If you're reading this to see if you should get this book, the answer is yes. When you finish it, share the damn thing! Let's make this information public knowledge!

A whole new meaning to the word OUTSTANDING

Revisado: 03-03-20

Christie in her best in edge and Steven's at his height in performance. If you are wanting a great stand-alone murder-mystery, look no further! Stands the test of time!

Love this take on horror

Revisado: 02-06-20

If you came here from Perks of Being a Wallflower, then don't expect the same vibe. Chbosky's writing style is still at an all-time high with this one, but the gore is right up there with King and Barker. Brilliant new light on how to see your inner demons!

Absolutely Suberp

Revisado: 02-06-20

If you have yet to listen to William Peter Blatty reading his notorious classic, then you have yet to experience it. The film has nothing on the driving force this novel brings.

Decent story, "eh" narrator

Revisado: 01-31-20

The story was a nice little web, in the mind of Agatha Christie with a modern paranormal twist. The narrator doing male voices was almost comical, however. I fully understand that being a performer for a novel is by no means an easy task, but it takes away from the story and made it VERY difficult to finish.

Like Father, Like Son!

Revisado: 10-16-19

I highly suggest working your way up to this book if you haven't read any of Joe Hill's works before, mainly so you can appreciate the beauty of how well he has strengthened his style and comes truly to himself. Starting off with a wonderfully written homage to his parents (Stephen and Tabitha King), and ending with his little footnotes on each story, this collection will keep you wishing it didn't end. Well rounded development, spacious new worlds, and excellent performances keep this book high on my shelf! Joe Hill makes the future of horror novels lool vast and untouched!

Like a call from an old friend with a new number!

Revisado: 09-17-19

There isn't one thing I can say about Steve King that hasn't been said over the span of almost 5 decades, but dammit this man can write! The Institue keeps you gripped with one beautifully woven web from the introduction of new characters in a fun world that I am sure will be mentioned in further works, to a climax that will echo for decades. The performance was well done. Not the best I've heard but certainly nothing to complain about.
Note: This isn't a horror novel, nor should it be classified under any trope. This is King coming out of a shell and moving into a realm that he has briefly touched the surface of (Bill Hodges Trilogy, Firestarter, The Outsider, etc). The style pulls from older works of his (amazing building, conspiracy) and mixes it up with the greatest hits of his newest legacy.
If you seriously have to look at the reviews for recommendation for this book, then obviously you need to work on updating your memory of what King is capable of doing...
