Customer Reviews

Great gift for my 14 year old grandson who plays guitar

It is very difficult to buy a gift for my grandson who just turned 14 this month....of course, money is always the perfect gift with a gift certificate to Best Buy or somewhere similar being right up there. But, I do like to come up with something to add to that so he'll have something to actually keep. I felt this book was perfect for him. His Dad plays the bass guitar and I thought he would enjoy reading it as well and the two could discuss it together. I actually read a couple of the rock star "bios" myself and thought it was something he would enjoy at his age...not too long, just right and he could read through quickly and even re-read and learn something about them he may have not known before.
