This book is a joy to read. The author takes you back to the 80s with stories that feel so real and close, like you’re hearing them from an old friend. The way each song is explained is clear and easy to follow, but also so exciting.
One part that really stayed with me was the story of Blondie. It brought back a memory from years ago when I was in my classroom with my little ones. One day, a child started singing and dancing to a song from that time. They didn’t know all the words, but they sang with so much happiness. It reminded me that music doesn’t need to be perfect to touch the heart.
The author captures that feeling—the way songs bring us together, no matter how young or old we are. What I really loved was how the stories showed that even famous artists started small, dreaming big. It teaches us that hard work and a little faith can take us far.
Reading this book felt like a gift. It makes you want to dance, sing, and remember all the good times. The author wrote everything so clearly that even someone who doesn’t know much about music will enjoy it. And if you lived through the 80s, it’s even better.
I think anyone who loves music or just good stories will find this book special. It’s a reminder to hold onto the things that make us smile.
