    In 2005 I was in the hospital for seven months. I came home a wreck: physically weak, spiritually defeated. For over a year I was an old man at thirty-seven. Then I discovered the magic in music. Listening to the music of the young, the passionate, the believers... it rejuvenated me. Music is magic, and that's what Gillen and McKelvie show in this book, but that is only the premise. Taking it past that and into the lives of the phonomancers who live that truth is where Phonogram shines. The back of the hardback asks "Has a song ever changed your life?" Well, Phonogram is the book that is the song that changed my life. Don't pass up a chance to let it do that for you.

    I'm simply not able to be objective here. This is a series that's very very very important to me, and having it as a collected set (and with all of the uncollected b-side side stories as well) is a big darn deal.

    The one thing that's causing me to dock it a star is that it doesn't have the glossaries and other "thinkin' about stuff" essays from either the individual issues or the collections. Those really gave a great insight into what went into creating this, both process-wise as well as lived experience.

    You will note that, having docked it a star, it's at five stars. That's very deliberate on my part.
