I didn't find this book quite as interesting as the first one I read by him, Music in Every Room, and I didn't find it quite as amusing. Nevertheless it's a good book, I like his writing style, and I loved that each chapter had a playlist. It was really cool to have music to read along with and I learned about some musicians I hadn't heard of before.
