Okay

I read the first book in this series about three years ago and didn't do a re-read before starting this, which wasn't the best idea ever.

That being said, I remembered enough to get into the story--though it took me a little while--but I think my taste n books has changed a little since then and I'm not sure if I'm interested in finishing the series.

I love being able to see what books I’ve read and how many I’ve read so far this year.

I also like sharing my opinions on the books I read and seeing what my friends are reading.

Excellent little app.

From it's description, i expected to like this more. But i didnt.

The art-work wasnt the best--the characters seeming to change slightly from one frame to the next--never looking the same. Continuity also wasn't the best.

The wording also drove me a little mad. All the "N'" this and "N'" that. Proper down south dialogue. The sentences ran together in parts which made it hard to figure out what they were saying.

And lastly, the storyline. I didn't quite get the love at first sight thing but the rest of it was quite good.

For those not familiar with the name Sam Phillips, he is the man who started up Sun Records in Memphis, TN. And it was there at 706 Union Avenue that Sam invented rock n roll. Now, he didn't invent the music or the soul behind rock n roll, rock n roll was cooked up by the men and women working in the cotton fields, folks in the churches singing hymns, heartbreak, and good times goofing off with friends; just to name a few ingredients. With any recipe, no matter how great the ingredients, a great cook is needed; and Sam Phillips was a five star chef ahead of his time. Thankfully for all us, he made it his time. He produced and laid down the first tracks for some of the greats, such as Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis just to name a few. I wouldn't say he discovered these great musicians, but rather helped them discover themselves. Back to the book, that's only a small portion of his story. Learning more about the man, who and what made him who he was, all of his accomplishments, and all of the details of what most know and a lot of what you had no idea about, made for a very fascinating read. If you have a love for music, then this is a must read book.
