Book Reviews of The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll

Book Review: A Multi-sensory Reading Experience
Summary: 5 Stars

Have you ever got kinda sad while reading a great book, knowing that the ride will ultimately end in the pages to come? For me, The 27s is one of those books, and thankfully the ride does not have to end when the book does. The 27s is dripping with rich musical knowledge, and Segalstad directs readers to explore outside its pages by quoting lyrics, dropping influential song names, and embedding the text with web links. The art is also a whole other element, and now I feel I must go back and simply appreciate each page's colorful canvas.
Segalstad & Hunter have created a new unique reading experience that appeals to those of us who not only want to read about music history, but be a part of it through a stunning multisensory experience.
Pick up this book and start your musical journey into the mystery that is The 27s!
