A review by civreader
They Don't Need to Understand: Stories of Hope, Fear, Family, Life, and Never Giving in by Andy Biersack

4.0

Going to write a full review soon, but some quick thoughts:
- first memoir(ish) I’ve read of a “celebrity” who’s younger than me. Which was a rather strange experience.
- I love Biersack’s music - especially his solo albums and the last 3 BVB albums (first two are ok, but the band levelled up dramatically after those).
- it’s not the best music memoir I’ve read, but some of my favourite books are music memoirs, so maybe it’s unfair to do a direct comparison.
- I’ve not read much journalistic coverage of the band, so it was nice to get their story finally.
- Biersack had incredibly supportive parents, for which I’m jealous. He also has an incredible drive and determination that has served him extremely well.

Have lots of thoughts. Hope the final review doesn’t get too long.
