A book review: sample 1

Almost Famous

Cameron Crowe was once a teenage reporter for Rolling Stone – the famous American music magazine. He uses his experiences in his novel Almost Famous (Faber and Faber, £6.99). The main character is William Miller, a 15-year –old kid who is hired by Rolling Stone magazine to go on tour with an unknown band, Stillwater. Their adventures take place all over the USA as William learns about life and love. Crowe’s writing is both interesting and believable.

The book also includes an interview with Cameron Crowe about his adventurous life and he explains some of the more confusing parts of the story.

You will not be disappointed by this book. The ending is thoughtful and emotional and I’m going to remember it for a long time.
