From Cradle To Stage - Virginia Hanlon Grohl

I really admire Dave Grohl - he's a brilliant songwriter, a rocking singer, a very artistic movie producer, and an incredible entertainer.  I've heard stories about how he was raised, so I was excited to read this book, written by his mother.

In this book, Virginia Grohl interviewed and told the stories of several rock stars from their mothers' perspectives.  Many of the stories were boring, or about artists that I'm not into.  However, I enjoyed reading about Rush's bass player, Geddy Lee, and how his mother was able to survive the holocaust and relocate to Canada.  I also enjoyed reading about Amy Winehouse and how she was difficult from the start, which spoke volumes about her eventual death from alcohol poisoning.  However, most of the stories weren't as interesting as those two, so I'd give this book a 6 of 10.
