emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.5

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Started it it over a year ago at our easter holiday lodge, but couldn't give it my full attention. Then it lived by my bedside where I chipped away at a page or two before sleep, and then it seemed to gather dust. But... just picked it up yesterday - read a chapter as I sat on the edge of the bed. Oh aye, I thinks to myself, this is quite good, isn't it... So here we are, after powering through two thirds of a near 400 page tome, I'm left wanting more. Laughter, happiness, pathos, poignancy... all of that. As a father of three daughters who has lost both parents in the last few years, you could guess where those trigger points are if you've read it. I found it relatable, obviously because of some overlap in our musical tastes, but this book would satisfy anyone who likes a good story, and this man can tell a story. Nice one.
