Review of "Let's Go" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"Let's Go" proves that you don't need a ghost writer to achieve a very good autobiography. Jeff Tweedy uses honest, unpretentious prose to chronicle his life so far - from his earliest childhood memories in Belleville, IL to his current days as the leader of Wilco and backup singer of the Racoonists. His winking sense of humor lets the reader know that he's not overly impressed with his own accomplishments, and his gratitude for making it this far is obvious and genuine. One wouldn't know that he might very well have his best days ahead of him.

I particularly enjoyed his technique of incorporating snippets of conversation with his wife and son regarding whether or not to include certain elements of his past life. Like the book itself, it was entertaining, enlightening and ultimately uplifting.
