5.0 out of 5 starsDave you are a legend.
Reviewed in Australia on 27 March 2022
Well, Dave Grohl is certainly a great storyteller.

I am a pop music lover but who doesn't love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. I had to listen to this on audio, read by Dave himself. My husband is a massive fan and I bought him he hardback for Christmas. We saw the band play in Sydney a few years ago, pre covid, and they were amazing. Such a high energy and loud concert that I will never forget.

I am writing this review the day after the death of drummer, Taylor Hawkins. I am still in shock that he is gone, after finishing this book on Friday. Taylor seemed to be a wonderful and full of life character and my heart goes out to his family and the rest of the band. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now, especially Dave, now losing 2 bandmates.

In Storyteller, Dave tells us some incredible stories of his life. And he is incredibly humble. He has worked hard and sacrificed alot to be where he is today, and he deserves the adulation. This book made me laugh, he has a way with words and some of the situations that he has been in are just hilarious. It almost made me cry, the losses that has suffered just broke me.

Some of my favourite stories - performing with Rick Astley, losing his wallet, the daddy-daughter dance, visiting the White House and so many more.

Any music lover will enjoy this book, I love to hear the behind the scenes stories. Dave you are a legend.

1.0 out of 5 starsArrived With Dirty/Sticky Cover, like a can of soft drink was sprayed over it.
Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2022
This book arrived with a dirty/sticky cover that I had to clean with a damp paper towel (twice) to clean it. Seems like a can of soft drink was sprayed over it. The other 3 books in the order was fine. You shouldn't serve your customers with books in this condition. I will not return it, will only have to wait another 11 days to get another copy. But you should really refund me anyway for 1. Having to touch it 2. Having to clean it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to earth
Reviewed in Australia on 25 March 2022

Dave Grohl, is not only an incredible musician, but writes so well as well.
I found his story to be down to earth, endearing , honest, and incredible in his journey from his initial start to where he is today.
He is just an all rounder likeable guy that people gravitate towards.
I particularly love the story about Joan Jett and also about Daddy daughter dance.

I bought this book for my husband and he loved it. We’re big fans of Foo Fighters, but that aside, Dave is an interesting guy and a fantastic writer. He’s so funny, honest and down to earth considering his success and fame. He has also created some fantastic documentaries I highly recommend you check out. His knowledge of music is incredible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun stories, but not an autobiography or a full memoir
Reviewed in Australia on 7 February 2022

I loved this book for what it was. Dave Grohl shares his stories, including some of the raw/ painful experiences. He doesn't get too deep but he gives a great insight into the crazy journey of his world. A great, fun read. (not an autobiography)

Absolutely loved this book. Dave writes so well and really involved the reader in his life experiences. He was really generous to include his family which some celebrities shy away from (understandably too). He has experienced such a varied life and made the most of his musical talents.

I love that it’s Dave’s voice. Buying this was like having Dave read me a bed time story. And an interesting story it is too. Loved it!

Dave Grohl regains us with stories! Obviously, having written some of the best songs of the past few decades, the man has a way with words.
