I inhaled this book during one Saturday. It's the perfect read for fans of Pink Floyd, the individual band members, or simply music enthusiasts of all kinds.

Being a huge fan of the band, Behind The Wall was a fascinating read on what was happening in the background of Pink Floyd works, from their debut to the present day. It's full of photographs and stories that outline their relationships, challenges and motivation behind creating some of the most well-known and acclaimed music on the planet. Highly recommended with a matching soundtrack in the background!

Thank you to Netgalley and Race Point Publishing for the ebook ARC!

My parents had me when they were pretty young, and music was very important to them and in our household when I was a kid. I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Metallica, Tom Petty, The Beatles, and so much more of what now makes up my music repertoire is a result of the concerts my parents attended and the CDs/tapes they owned.

So, yeah, I’ve heard about the Pink Floyd (Division Bell) concert a time or two. So reading this book, pictures included, felt special. It felt like being in on that memory, even if I wasn’t there to actually go to the concert with them.

This book will share how the band was formed, disbanded, how the biggest hits were thought up, and more. It was a really interesting (and quick) read!
