I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my honest review.

Being someone who love’s heavy metal, rock ‘n’ roll and other related musical genres I couldn’t wait to read Diving Into Heavy Metal by Philip Kerr. This is a book that is chock-full of fun stories with laugh out loud situations throughout. His love for heavy metal shines through on every page. His stories of how he discovered heavy netal which in turn led to him getting his first guitar and joining a band struck a nostalgic chord and took me back to my own experiences.

I'm glad I found this book. I would recommend this to anyone interested in music, even if you're not a metal fam. I give this a solid five stars.

So many great anecdotes in this book. The author’s style is really accessible and he puts a funny spin on the stories, making them interesting to anyone - not just metal fans. Really enjoyable.

Being someone who love’s heavy-metal, rock ‘n’ roll and other related musical genres I couldn’t wait to re-Diving Into Heavy-Metal by Philip Kerr this is a book full of fun stories with laugh out loud situation throughout and I know this is mainly focused on his journey through his love and education and heavy-metal I don’t want to gloss over what a great narrative Mr. Cerr can spin from his excitement and getting his first guitar to joining The band an undergraduate school to famous rock events no story gets told without a few LOL moments that which obviously Mr. Kerr is very talented at executing. This in my opinion would’ve been interesting without the musing narrative but OMG the way he writes stories makes this whole book so much more than just the average diving in to the subject. I love heavy-metal and now I love Philip cerr obviously a literary and a musical genius. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.
