Like A Conversation with an Old FriendBy Paris2753I have been a fan of American Idol; and in particular Scotty McCreery; since his Idol audition in Milwaukee in 2011. This book has been five years in the making and the stories Scotty and his co-author; Travis Thrasher; have to tell do not disappoint. An excellent book for all ages - especially young people finding their way and having a dream.There are plenty of behind-the-scenes tidbits about Idol; the audition process; grueling Hollywood week; the 24/7 schedule; the hometown visit back to Garner; NC. Scotty includes wonderful stories about his family; his early musical influences; life on the road with his band; Dry County; the ups and downs of the music business and what he has learned about himself along the way.The book reads like a conversation with an old friend and is hard to put down. Scottys personality shines across every page. I didnt think it was possible to like and admire this young man any more than I already did but after reading GBOGH I certainly do!(If you have any "reluctant" readers in your family; get them the audio version! Scottys rich; smooth voice is a pleasure to listen to whether singing a song or reading his book to you!)12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful Book from a Wonderful Young ManBy Sharon F. JilesI absolutely loved Go Big Or Go Home!!! It is such a fascinating glimpse into Scottys life---and into his thoughts; feelings; and dreams! It is like hanging out with him for a couple of days just listening to him talk. This book is informative; touching; funny; inspirational --- a wonderful book from a wonderful young man---singer; songwriter; and star!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great read for all ages!By Westy 5Such a delightful read! Scotty is adorable and more importantly a man after Gods heart and not afraid to share it. He never compromises his values as a teenager in a cutthroat competition. His story was well written; entertaining and inspirational! I bought it for my 12 year old grandson and wanted to read it to see if it would be appropriate for him. I enjoyed it so much and loved the behind the scenes story of how the Idol competition unfolded. Scottys own personal story was amazing; too. This book should be in every school library. It will encourage youth to pursue their dreams and help them gain the confidence to stay true to who they are and not to always follow the crowd. Cant wait to pass it on to my 92 year old dad; too.
