I read this after a recommendation from a friend of mine who loved it (and gave it 5 stars). It sounded so interesting. After two years of wanting to read it, I finally did. It is a bit of an autobiography about Rob Sheffield's life growing up around music and the love and heartache he endured. Each chapter is started by a mix tape with song listings (which I'll let you know that I actually searched out every single song and listened to them while reading the book & in between throughout my few days of reading the book). I honestly felt as if I was listening to a stranger ramble on about his life and memories that shifted as he told me his life story while smoking cigarette after cigarette at a restaurant. That's what this felt like to me.
