A review by ellenclibrarian
Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell

5.0

I loved this book and intertwined reading with listening to the audio. It is a lot, and a bit chaotic, but that goes along with a theme of the story. I've always loved band stories because the dynamic of a rock band fascinates me, and I once thought I would combine my sociology degree with my passion for music for just this purpose. It may not be a great read for everyone, but I loved the Forrest Gump-like meetings with various musicians of the era coupled with the fascinating study of mental illness.
