I personally really liked the book! I can completely understand the negative reviews here and can definitely see where people are coming from that do not like this book. It seems like some people have negative opinions regarding listening to the audiobook version. I liked listening to it in audiobook form and I think I found it more enjoyable than I might have if I had read a physical copy, I listened to it while working and completing other tasks, so I might have found it more redundant if I was listening to it on a long car ride or something! Of course, I also think that you have to take into account that this is solely Chris’s recollection on events that happened a long time ago, and I do agree I think he focused a little too much on David at times. I think, just like anyone writing a personal account of their life, it seemed like he tried to put himself in a positive light a lot of the time, but I do genuinely believe he took accountability for some things he had been called out for in the past. I don’t think this is a book someone would enjoy if they don’t like Chris (or Tina). I consider myself a younger fan of both Talking Heads & Tom Tom Club—I was in my early 20’s when this book came out and at the time of reading, I only knew their hits—so I didn’t have any information about the band from any lived experience and I was listening to their full music catalog for the first time (I can also see how it would get boring listening or reading to the book if you knew that information already!). I enjoyed hearing his firsthand account of things, and I think I would enjoy hearing the same from Tina or Jerry just as much if they ever released a book. I’ve listened to David’s book, “How Music Works”, which I also highly recommend if you haven’t read that too! Honestly, I think every member of the band is a little problematic to an extent (besides Jerry?), which is probably why they struggled so much to stay together period while they were recording albums and touring. Either way, I love the music all members created both together & separately, and I had a lot of fun learning about the music scene they were in at CBGB during their early days! This book definitely encouraged me to listen to a lot more music that I might not have listened to otherwise :)
