it was amazing

One of the best nonfiction books that I’ve read in years!

In The Storyteller, we follow Dave as he grew up in Virginia playing in his first band Scream, and onto drumming for Nirvana. Dave gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like sharing an apartment with the late great Kurt Cobain and Kurt’s turtle. The book was written before Taylor Adam's sudden and shocking death so following Dave and Taylor’s friendship in Storyteller was incredible. Through it all, Dave stays extremely humble and never strayed from his true self.

I've always been a big Nirvana and Foo Fighters fan so this will be one of those books that will stay with me for a long time after finishing it. I loved living vicariously through Dave as he not only let but played music with some of the best rock legends ever, Joan Jett, Tom Petty, and Little Richard. I listened to the audiobook version of this one and it is narrated by Dave himself! My husband has a physical copy of this one so I plan on rereading it in the future.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who was a music fan in the 80s and 90s or if you love those two decades of music. Although I do believe that gen-xer’s like myself will appreciate Dave’s stories even more.

Also if you do decide to read this one, look up the youtube video titled Fresh Pots by Dave Grohl. Not only is it hilarious but It also ties into a certain part of the book.
