As a child of the 90s and having grown up in area well known for punk and grunge, I was excited to dive into The Storyteller by Dave Grohl. It was honestly exactly what I was hoping for. Dave tells us the story of his life with lots of stories about notable musicians and musical moments. 

One thing I particularly loved about this book is the way that Dave narrates it. His voice and personality comes across very clearly through his words. It's like he's almost standing there telling it to you himself in that moment. In some ways, his writing style even reminds me a bit of Anthony Bourdain...in that reverence to rock and roll, bits of snark, and out-pouring of facts for subjects he's passionate about. 

Part of the reason I enjoyed this book so thoroughly was that it was just a lot of fun. Dave seems like such a kind and humble man and that makes him all the more likeable as a narrator. Even in the bleak moments, like when he talks about Kurt Cobain's suicide, he has an ability to reflect on things in a way that makes them understandable.

All in all, this is definitely being added to my top 5 favorite autobiographies. If you like music, you should have this on your TBR. (Pro Tip: Audiobook is great as Dave narrates it himself.)
