Try This at Home: Adventures in Songwriting by Frank Turner

5.0

This was the book that I wanted him to write in the first place—the stories behind the vast majority of my favorite songs and how they were created. In that, though, I kind of failed to realize how deeply personal it would be for me to read it, as there are a lot of reasons why these songs mean so much to me. It was incredible, honestly,earning why he wrote some of these songs because they matched up so well with why I love them so much.
Aside from that, this book was frankly hilarious—he brought so much humor and sarcasm into the writing of this that it felt like I was at a concert all over again. (Also this book made me really want to go to a concert all over again)
All in all, this book was incredible and I am so glad I forked over the extra twenty books to get the special edition of it, as it will be one I want to keep for probably the rest of my life.
