The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

I loved listening to Dave Grohl narrate the book. He brought the book to life with his voice. However, I was disappointed in the book. One reason is that although there are a lot of stories none of them go deep. I felt that these were just surface layer stories he would tell to any fan or person he wasn't close to. He skims over the juiciest parts that fans and readers want to know about...the ups and downs of being in Nirvana, starting the Foo Fighters, his personal life. Another thing that I didn't like is the sequence of the story. The timeline jumps around constantly. This was confusing as a listener to the audiobook. I never knew where we were in his life when the stories were taking place.

100% agree with this. I was very underwhelmed. I understand if he didn’t want to gossip but I didn’t feel he got to personal on any event. I also felt it was a lot of name dropping.

So much name dropping!
Completely agree. Love Dave, Foo Fighters, and his writing style, but the constant jumping around was terribly confusing. And I felt like I had missed sections of the book somehow because I really wanted a much deeper dive into how exactly the Foo Fighters got together. I enjoyed it for what it is, but I just wanted more.
