While the book is written for teens starting their own band - and it is a fun, lively how-to book on getting started in music - it's equally entertaining to a non-musician.
I've heard this book described as a graphic novel, and I'd say that's reaching a bit. It does have lots of little illustrations and one section is in comic format, but really the book is mainly text. And I did enjoy the book's tone - it's written very casually, like you're just sitting down chatting with a big brother or mentor who wants to help you through this band junk.
There's a lot to learn here, both as a musician or as a fan. When think some of these things over, it sure makes you reappraise the bands you see performing. What did they give up to get there? And what part do I play in the whole thing?
