Book Reviews of Simplicity
Book Review: Insightful behind-the-scenes look at music.
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge Stavesacre fan, but I have to give my honest opinion. I have never read a more poorly-written (published) book. It's perfectly written for a blog or something, but I couldn't believe I was reading this in a book. (Sorry Mark!) His thoughts were so random and many times difficult to follow. So many rabbit trails and too-long sentences. An editor would have been nice, but that's okay.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed it. A music fan always wants to know about what they like. So it was great hearing all those stories, thoughts, opinions, etc. Mark makes good points that many Christians ought to take a look at.
As a side note, I was struck by the lack of love/respect/appreciation Mark shows for his fans. I can see he genuinely cares for people in general, but to me it seemed like in nearly every context where a fan is mentioned, it is derogatory. He doesn't want to talk to them. Granted, he has some bad experiences with certain fans, but I found that I wanted him to somewhere lose a little of that cynical attitude toward his fans.
So anyways I do recommend reading this book.
