Wow. And I mean WOW.

I found paperbackswap from a cousin of mine that is more like a sister, that is also a member here. She got this book as a gift to me and upon reading it herself confirmed to me that she KNEW that I would love it.

I have n ever been more happy to say that someone was right in all of my life.

One page in and I was drawn in completely. Robert not only loves music, but appreciates its nuances. Appreciates the emotions that songs evoke and how they can apply to so many arenas in a person's life. He highlights each chapter with a specific mix tape list from his own history, and not only does that make it more obvious how much he appreciates the value of music, but it also makes him so very vulnerable, exposing how each of those songs touched, marked, and defined HIS life, and that of his late wife.

I read this book in a matter of days; I just couldn't put it down. You couldn't possibly be sorry in reading this book.
