Book Review #728 - Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey by Ed Sheeran and Phillip Butah

22292480




Ed Sheeran is the soulful singer-songwriter from England who has captivated American audiences. "Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey" will reveal his early childhood experiences and the various musical influences that have helped him become the musician he is today. It's an intimate book that will give fans a look at the musings, dreams, and hopes of this very private artist.

With close to 100 photos and illustrations by well-known illustrator Phillip Butah, who has worked with Ed Sheeran to create the artwork for his huge hit album "+," this is a book that all Ed Sheeran fans would love to own and cherish!
 
 
My Rating: 5/10
 
 
I got this book from my local library and decided to read it the day I went and saw Ed Sheeran in concert for the third time.
 
This book only touches on the musical journey of Ed and is in nowhere near a memoir which makes it a very light and fast read.
 
The writing was very genuine and definitely felt like Ed plus the artwork by his lifelong friend complimented the writing very well.
 
I really enjoyed the insight into the struggles Ed went through to get to the level he is at now and even though it doesn't divulge anything new, it was refreshing to hear it in Ed's own words.
