Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-11 00:00:00 Patrick Silverthorne This book was definitely interesting, not necessarily great, but interesting. Not only does the author do a colorful job of describing the music and entertainment industry from a perspective that I have not read about previously, but also he did it in a way that came across arrogant and slightly pompous. He bounced around with his stories and experiences within the chapters and paragraphs so it was hard to follow in places. Yet, the hardest thing to overcome in reading the book was his attitude and almost disregard for the negative things that have been said about him and his work. He did not completely disregard these comments, or he would not have added them to his book, but he dismissed them with much disgust that it was almost pointless to include them. In the end, this book was interesting to read for the perspective it provided on music writing, production and the industry in general but it is good it is a shorter book with large print, because the author’s tone is enough to turn a reader off.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-04-19 00:00:00 Matt Semak I was conflicted on whether or not to even read this because it bothers me that David Foster apparently has decided to become his own brand now instead of staying behind the scenes as most other producer/songwriters do. You can see he has a generally healthy ego in this book, but he also admits to self-doubt and being a generally crappy husband and father as a result of his work ethic. This is an interesting memoir of the music industry, but overall it is too short of a book for someone with such a long career, and the reader doesn't get a feel for anyone save the narrator.
