Why read it?

1 author picked Utopia Avenue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I wasn't in London during the swinging '60s (I was in nappies), but I've just been taken there by David Mitchell, and I had a fantastic time. I loved getting to know the band members of Utopia Avenue as they established themselves in London and then hit the big time in America – I felt like I was behind a camera lens, watching their lives unfold every step and guitar strum of the way.
