Bruce Springsteen grew up in Freehold, New Jersey and is one of three children, both younger. Bruce got his first guitar in his young years, and right then he was hooked on music. When his parents moved to California, Bruce stayed in the attic of a surfboard factory in New Jersey. While attending Ocean County Community College, he started his first band, the Castles, when he was only 16 years old. From then on he was in and out of bands constantly, until he started "Bruce Springsteen and the E street band". He has had many accomplishments with his band like in 1985 he won the Grammy award for the song "Dancing in the Dark". Another one was in 1999 when he was finally introduced to the Rock'n Roll hall of fame. When he is not on tour, he usually plays solo gigs and local concerts in his home town in New Jersey. The book Rock'n Roll Hall of Famers by Susie Derkins was packed with info about Bruce Springsteen. All of the paragraphs were strait to the point and easy to understand. There were many pictures so you could imagine what the scene was like. Under the pictures there were fairly large captions telling everything that was happening. All the main words had italics, and on some pages a Did-You-Know box was on inserted. The table of contents had the book organized in chapters. I liked the long captions under the pictures. That helped me when I was picturing Bruce Springsteen's life in my mind. I recommend this book to any Rock'n Roller, and especially the ones who just love Bruce Springsteen and his music.
