Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono

adventurous informative reflective slow-paced

2.5

Memoir by Bono, the singer for the Irish band U2. I think U2 fans would love this, but I found it tedious. Parts were more interesting than others. I didn’t know that Bono and the other band members were so religious. Christianity runs through the whole book, it’s just part of Bono. I didn’t know how involved he has been in various causes: world debt relief, AIDS, poverty. I don’t know most of the 40 songs, so I pulled most of them up on YouTube and listened while I read about them. Bono describes what was going on at the time each song was written and how the band approached recording and performing.
