Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono
4.0
I'm not normally a fan of autobiography, I much prefer the more dispassionate, removed comments the biographer has about his/her subject. That said, this is actually one of those rare autobiographies that is really good. In fact, I'd go so far as to say its one of the best autobiographies I've read. Engagingly structured and on the whole well written.
It's not without its faults though. It's overly long and Bono is a little overly loquacious and poetic at times (then again, this is Bono, so of course it is). And I have to admit that the last chapter is just far to pretentious for my tastes.
