Andrew McMahon

Three Pianos by Andrew McMahon is a moving memoir that will appeal to readers regardless of their opinion of McMahon's music.

Many celebrity memoirs appeal mostly to those already familiar with, and a fan of, that celebrity. This memoir will be loved by those readers but will also be a powerful story for those like me who neither like nor dislike his music. Or perhaps more accurately I am moved by some of his music and uninterested in some of it. This memoir, however, presents the person and that person is quite interesting and articulate.

In addition to fans, I would also recommend this to readers who enjoy memoirs in general, especially of people who strive to overcome obstacles and maintain some semblance of the person they want to be. McMahon succeeds in drawing us into his life and as a reader you will become invested in it.
