The Only Pirate at the Party

I got this book and got to reading it one evening - I had got through it by the morning after the next day. I was basically reading it in all of my free time, because it was just that interesting. I used to be a great reader, but have fallen out of it for several years, and nothing seems to hook me anymore, but this certainly did.One of the things I loved about it was that it was pretty much exactly what I was expecting in a lot of ways - I thought I was going to be able to feel the wonderful, sweet, quirky personality of Lindsey throughout the book, and I was absolutely right. It also confirmed what I had already assumed and hoped was true about Lindsey - that she was very grounded and human; in a lot of her experiences she has to go through things that everyone can relate to. She is not a typical celebrity with her head in the clouds, she's down here with us. Something I just loved was how clear she makes it that her friends, her crew, her family (which are obviously pretty much one and the same to her) mean more to her than anything and she appreciates them more than the words she expresses in the book can say.A wonderfully entertaining emotional rollercoaster - you will find yourself laughing and crying throughout the book, and after reading this I feel like I understand and can relate to her a lot more. I swear the emotional impact of all her music increased significantly too after reading this.If anyone has any doubts about buying this, let me just say that even to people who aren't big fans of Lindsey, I would recommend this book, so if you ARE a big fan...it's a must buy.

Loved it loads!!! She ain’t very big. She ain’t the world’s greatest violinist. But she has a gargantuan effervescent personality and has led a privileged life that is worth telling. Her insight, “young” wisdom and inspiration are simply brilliantly told in short snapshots that make an awful lot of sense to your life and mine. I totally loved this book for its exuberant simplicity and “can do”a ttitude. Read it - I guarantee you’ll be inspired. I certainly was.

A lovely story of someone been dismissed from the X factor by the big music deal makers, took her destiny in her own hands and had made amazing violin music and brilliant videos on YouTube. Lindsey's truly an inspiration to many people!

This book is a lovely read. Obviously only fans of Lindsey Stirling are going to buy it but I would recommend it to any of her followers. The stories and anecdotes that Lindsey has included really give an insight into the early life and career of this brilliant performer. If you like Lindsey this book is a must have item. Go on - treat yourself. It is worth every penny.....

I really loved it.She talks about her childhood growing up in Arizona,How her parents sacrificed a lot to buy her first violin,her struggles with anorexia,and her disappointment at losing in America's got talent,she talks about her family and a bit about her region,but it's not too in your face,very honest, enduring and of course the sense of humour she is known for too,I read it in 2 and a half days.If you're a fan of Lindsey and haven't read this book what are u waiting for!!cannot recommend enough!😊😊

Loved this book! After falling in love with her music I was interested to know more about how she became such a success and what drives her. It's a witty page-turner, one I've recommended and will read again.

Amazing book I can't put it down

My son who is learning violin loved this book.
