Frank Turner recommended Here Comes Everybody: The Story of The Pogues in Books (curated)

 
Here Comes Everybody: The Story of The Pogues
Here Comes Everybody: The Story of The Pogues
James Fearnley | 2012 | Biography
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"Another music pick, this time from James who is the accordion player in The Pogues. I read his memoir, Here Comes Everybody, about half way through writing my own, and it made me go back and change some things as it was just so good. It made me really think about my own writing and how I could improve it. Even if you’re not a huge Pogues fan it’s well worth a read."

I gave it 100 pages but couldn't get into the story. The blurb sounds good but I didn't like the characters or writing style. May be better for younger readers.

While the writing style is better suited for shorter pieces like "Animal Farm," this novel houses a thoroughly chilling thought experiment that unfortunately becomes increasingly relevant as time moves on. (0 more)

I grew up with this, so it's grown with me and it's a meaningful album. (2 more)
Lots of emotional writing with a Joni's unmistakable vocals.
It's one of those 'go to' albums.

The writing of the settings for me was also brilliant and I could see every detail as I read about them.

Great writing, I enjoyed descriptions without feeling it was too much.
Characters were relatable.
A little slow moving at times. (0 more)

I loved The Artist Way. I was excited about this one. It was a great help in getting me started in writing freely again. I will be rereading this one again.

So much attention to detail with the family meals. The jazz interludes on the audio book were fun. The writing wasn't terrible, but everything felt disconnected. Read/listen to something else.
