Reviews
"The message that burns through "The Storyteller" is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I'm just like you. I've worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I'm a fan.", Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . . Reflecting on his fame, Grohl writes, "I have never taken a single moment of it for granted." Paired with his sparkling wit, this humility is what makes Grohl's soulful story a cut above typical rock memoirs. There isn't a dull moment here., Both a timestamp of the past and a living example of what can be accomplished through creation. Lovers of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out., As Grohl himself sees it, he's a McCartney, not a Lennon, and if he's filling the world with silly love songs, the object of his affection tends to be existence itself., Grohl bares his soul and shares his passion in this must-read memoir, which will resonate with music lovers and his fans., "The title "The Storyteller" fits perfectly. The book is filled with plainspoken, conversational prose that ably pulls readers into each tale, no matter how linear or digressive. The pages fly by, the memoir having the feel of a series of chats over drinks with a friend who just happens to have worked with nearly every notable mainstream and indie-rock musician of the last few decades.", Kinetic... Grohl writes with equal fervor about his path from "that guy from Nirvana" to the leader of the uberfamous Foo Fighters and his parenting experiences. An exciting read for fans and a remarkable perspective on the last 30 years of rock music.", "Candid, humble and full of stories about big-time stars...music lovers will want to put this one in heavy rotation." -- CNN "As Grohl himself sees it, he's a McCartney, not a Lennon, and if he's filling the world with silly love songs, the object of his affection tends to be existence itself." -- Rolling Stone "The message that burns through The Storyteller is to those who watch him onstage now: Deep down, I'm just like you. I've worked hard to get where I am, but I obsessed over the same music you do. I'm a fan." -- Billboard "Grohl, of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame, demonstrates the good-naturedness he's known for in this heartfelt standout that explores everything from the loss of Kurt Cobain to the road to fatherhood." -- Audible (Best of the Year list) "Both a timestamp of the past and a living example of what can be accomplished through creation. Lovers of chronicled melodic adventures and those seeking artistic inspiration will want to check it out." -- Parade "... the world benefits just as much from hearing his inspiring stories told as only one of rock's great stadium rockers turned storyteller can tell them." -- Forbes "He may be a slight musical genius, but Grohl's journey from modest, punk-obsessed troublemaker, to drumming in the most popular band of the decade, to launching an enduring solo career that puts his rock and roll ethos at its center, is a truly inspiring tale." -- Consequence of Sound "The title The Storyteller fits perfectly. The book is filled with plainspoken, conversational prose that ably pulls readers into each tale, no matter how linear or digressive. The pages fly by, the memoir having the feel of a series of chats over drinks with a friend who just happens to have worked with nearly every notable mainstream and indie-rock musician of the last few decades." -- Pittsburg Post-Gazette "Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . .

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times Bestseller * Named one of Variety's Best Music Books of 2021 * Included in Audible's Best of The Year list * A Business Insider Best Memoirs of 2021 * One of NME's Best Music Books of 2021 So, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

PERFECT SELLER! Item was described well and sold for a very reasonable price. Packaging was immaculately done with care and included a very thoughtful note, was shipped out promptly (shipping cost was a bit more than expected, but little can be done about that), then arrived way sooner than I thought it would. I love the piece and it's perfect for a look I'm putting together. Very grateful for such an excellent and smooth transaction. Would love to buy from here again! Thank you so much, Cindy!

I rarely write reviews but my outstanding purchase experience from Cindy compels me to.
I purchased a book from Cindy's store the evening of March 12th and texted Cindy asking if she could expedite the order as I needed the book quickly. She very promptly responded that she would put it in the mail the next day and book arrived on the 14th!
The item was very well wrapped, in perfect condition and even had a personal note! Outstanding service... exceeded all expectations!
