I love this book.It's like "High Fidelity" but focusing on the love and loss of one woman rather than 5.
The story of the author's relationship with his wife pre-her/with her/after her (who also loves music JUST AS MUCH as him!) is all told through his relationship with music, and - for a music geek like myself - it's so amazing. He even starts each chapter with a mixtape from some point in the author's life and it sets the mood for the entire chapter.
AS A MATTER OF FACT - a few nights ago, I read it and cried. Then today I read it in work today and tried not to cry again, and then I got to the last chapter and stopped with 20 minutes before all the kids woke up because I don't want this book to end.
What it really made me want to do is make a mix tape (cd) every so often and date it, and listen to it later in life and reflect on it like he does so often in the book.
Whatever, everyone, if you love music and really feel for it and its a major part of your life - just buy this book. It's a really honest, heartfelt story and damn it.. it's toat tube.
