A nameless young man is watching his dreams slip away when a man who let his own dreams die long ago sits down and begins to tell him a story: a story of young love and teenage dreams and rock and roll magic. A story about being young and being brave, and the girl who taught him how to be that way.
As the story unfolds, the young man begins to wonder if there’s something more to this older man and his strange story…if maybe, just maybe, rock and roll magic is real.
A modern-day fable, The Truth of Rock and Roll is a cautionary tale about being young, being brave, and holding onto your dreams.
My Review
I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.
This book is short but there’s a lot in its few pages: love, small town prejudice, following your dreams (or not), and the magic of rock and roll.
The way The Truth of Rock and Roll is written is a little different. It’s narrated by a young man who just got off the phone after an argument with his father about going to business school. A middle aged man starts talking to him and ends up telling him his story to the young man, with the moral being to follow your dreams rather than giving in to what others expect of you.
If you’re looking for a quick but good read, this is a good one!

About the Author
Matthew Keville wrote his first short stories in first grade, when the books on the shelves didn’t have the stories he wanted. The stories have been his constant friends since then, and they’ve carried him through some hard times. He grew up in a small town where you either leave at eighteen or live there forever. He elected to leave at eighteen. Now he lives in New York City where everyone is only working as a waiter or bus driver or stockbroker until they make it on Broadway. This makes him different and special, because he’s only working as a paralegal until he makes it as a writer.
