The book provides valuable information about indie rock and Yo La Tengo, but I found some sections dragged on. The anecdotes are interesting, but I wish it had a faster pace. If you're patient, though, you'll learn a lot!

Delivery Was a Hassle
While I really like the book, I had issues with the delivery service. It took longer than expected to arrive and the packaging was a bit crumpled. But the content itself is great, so I’m happy with the purchase!

Not What I Expected
I thought this would be more of a biography about Yo La Tengo, but it feels more like a journalistic take on indie rock as a whole. It's still good, but I was looking for something different. Just a heads up!
