Stephen's performance is stellar. The book has lots of fun moments, some of which have made it into pop culture. Didn't give it a straight 5 because it's so far out I had to be in the right mindset to listen to it, in short time spans.

José Pedro Dias reviewed Simple passion by Annie Ernaux
Review of 'Simple passion' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I didn’t like reading this book. The character seems completely out of control and has no respect for herself - this sentiment is painfully clear. The prose is direct. Written as a diary of love and despair. The last few pages show some insight which leaves me breathing a bit better but overall it was a short and painful trip.
(I wonder whether the original french prose is better than the portuguese translation)
José Pedro Dias reviewed The Storyteller by Dave Grohl
Review of 'The Storyteller' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I found the book particularly interesting for the early years in David’s career and the awesome musicians he met and played with along the way. The prose is simple and it sometimes feels like he tried too hard to be polite and avoided raising waves - a solid contrast to Dave Mustaine’s autobiography I’ve read long ago. The Nirvana era takes about one chapter - you’ll probably find other better suited books if that’s what you’re looking for.
