This book far exceeded my expectations. Bono is a multi-faceted, supremely talented, complicated man. Skillfully blending stories of his music with his activism and his personal life, it‘s a great read (and audiobook).

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Parts of this were great, parts were a little navel gazey. Seems like a good guy. Married to his high school sweetheart, who he obviously cherishes, which I find very sweet. He narrates and intersperses with music, which is great, except I was listening to the narration at 1.5x, so it was a little distorted. A pick for anyone who thinks it might be interesting, but not a universal must read.

“Edge is from the future, and he says it‘s better there.”

Bono long ago surrendered himself to working for a better future, whether it was his activism, his songwriting, or his embrace of technology in music, it‘s distribution, and it‘s presentation. This book discusses much of it. However, it‘s his faith in God, family and friendship that stuck out most to me. This is more than a memoir… it‘s a sacred text, essential to music history.

I loved this book!! If you are a U2 fan, it would be hard not to love it! If you‘re not a U2 fan, I think you could enjoy it bc Bono is a great writer, but it is definitely for the long-time U2 lover!

I really enjoyed listening to this! Bono performs his memoir, not just reads it, and there is music sprinkled in. (The audiobook is 100% the way to go). I‘m not a U2 super fan but I like them and am just the right age to have always had their music as part of my life. I went to one of their shows and it was a huge spectacle. This book reminded me of all the songs I loved and also about the work Bono has done as a humanitarian.

Gray and yellow is apparently the official color scheme for memoirs and biographies.

The book of psalms, written by King David. Written in a format of song lyrics and poetic telling of the Lord our God, singing in hymns and praises as he shows his prayers to God in forms of songs and poems.
