Unabridged Audiobook
as an old old fan of U2 and Bono (since 1978) it is really a pleasure and a privilege to listten all the history of the Band directly from him and get in contact with the real inspirations that came in each success ! Congratulations Bono and thank you for the present to all fans ..
This was a great listen. Bono was surprisingly good at accents, and I really enjoyed the inclusion of the songs. I have a new respect for his faith, his songwriting, and his strong relationships.
Good overall. Too much time spent on his time as an activist. I am more interested in him talking about the story and music of U2.
A very poetic and insightful telling of the band, his wife and the artistic process colliding with swapping celebrity for social change. This is not a tell all. It is also one of the best audiobooks as you get to listen to samples of songs he writes about.
I enjoyed listening to the audio version of this book and especially how he brings it to a close. Beautiful!
Poet, activist, rebel, romantic are just a few of words that come to mind when reading this book. What an amazing life he has led and hearing his own voice read his own words was quite special. I was not a huge U2 fan but am more so now having read how these songs came to be and more importantly how a young teenager grew and became the man Bono is today.
Do this book via audio. Seems like the music and Bono reading made it very good. Wasn’t historically interested in U-2. Will search out their music now.
Excellent book! Great as an audiobook!
More of a theatrical production than just another audio book. Lots of bonus content (music, sound effects) scattered throughout the reading. The author as reader adds a depth not possible had anyone else done the reading. So glad I picked up the audiobook instead of the written version.
Enjoyed every minute of the 20 hours and learnt a lot!
This is probably the best audio book I’ve ever listen to. So interesting and so entertaining. I didn’t want it to end. What an extraordinary life and human.
This memoir was fantastic. There was so much I didn’t know about his life. Being narrated by him made it that much more authentic.
This audiobook is really worth your while for the full experience of this book - from Bono singing lines from the songs (in ways you haven’t heard before), to his attempts at accents (the Bill Clinton one was a bit cruel but hilarious nonetheless), the audio version of this memoir really adds a special charm. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed listening Bono tell his stories. He is an extraordinary person living an extraordinary life. I can’t say I was always a fan, because I did not discover U2 until the mid eighties, but have loved them ever since. I remember seeing the 360 tour in Edmonton. I bought 4 last minute tickets and took my hubby and daughter. I called an acquaintance that has since become my best friend to see if she’d like to go. It was such a fun night. Bono tells stories on stage and I loved listening to him. Something about his Irish lilt.
