I guess this is perfect for people who were in their 20ies during the 1990ies. I was just born in this decade and hardly knew the music mentioned in this book, but the story is still great and it's really delightful to read.

A trip down Memory Lane, alvast wat een deel van de muziek en sfeer in dit boek betreft. De horror die Rob Sheffield overviel is mij tot nog toe gelukkig gespaard gebleven. Dit boek is aangrijpend en soms wat klef, maar blijft in elk geval hangen.

Wauw.
Begon met eens in de zoveel tijd een hoofdstuk te lezen, maar na een tijdje kwam ik er echt in. Super emotioneel, inspirerend om te lezen wat muziek voor iemand anders betekent. Erg meeslepend.

I loved learning about Rob and Renee's short-lived love story through music, from how they initially bonded and how music shaped their experiences as a couple. Just like Renee's death in real life, it comes suddenly and abruptly in the book, making it all the more heartbreaking.

It feels a little strange to rate a memoir. It is events in someone's life after all. I wanted to love this book. I went so far as to go to Spotify and see if there was a playlist based on the book and yes there are a couple. And I may be listeningy way through it.
I grew up in the age of the mix tape and then graduated to burning CDs. Maybe it's his writing style but I found that the book didn't hold my attention. This is a book I should have finished in a couple of days. Yet I kept putting it down to do something else. I even started another book. I was completely turned off by him at the end when he mentioned giving his wife's dog away. I don't trust you if you don't like dogs.
I felt more emotion about finally finishing the book then I did about the story itself.

Very sad. A lot of it went over to head because I didn't get the references. But the ones that I did. Hit really hard
