A review by snaggy95
It Starts with One: The Legend and Legacy of Linkin Park by Jason Lipshutz

5.0

This book means the world to me. Linkin Park was and is still my favorite band. When Chester passed I cried a lot. I still tear up listening to certain songs & I’m happy the band is back even though it is bittersweet. So when I saw an arc review of this book I jumped on NetGalley as fast as I could to see if it was still available. It was. I went on a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the journey this book takes you on. First it was happiness & excitement of seeing how the band formed. There was frustration & anger when reading about how the label wanted them to change their sound & especially when they proposed getting rid of Mike. I laughed out loud reading about how One Step Closer came to be. Naturally I cried & even had to pause reading to collect myself when we reach July 20, 2017. I have nothing but love for this book. I bought the audio & physical copy as well. This is a must read for any fan of Linkin Park. It’s just a beautiful thing. 

Thank you NetGalley & Hachette for the advance copy.
