Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono

4.0

Bono is no stranger to writing professionally. However, I was still skeptical when I heard he was switching mediums to tell his story in a different and new way. But man, he can write! Sometimes, like earlier U2 tracks, the message comes across a little bloated or unfocused. But it finds it’s way soon after. The real star of this book is how self aware Bono is in his honest recollection of the past. He expressed his thoughts not only clearly, but in a full and impassioned way. My appreciation for U2 grew. My respect for Bono grew. This book was a fun ride through the history of the band, the life of the man, and greater meditations on life, passions, and existence in the ever changing music industry.
