I really enjoyed reading about Scotty McCreery's journey. Go Big or Go Home isn't an autobiography, Scotty calls it a travelogue of his life to this point. I loved the way this book was written. It was almost like you were sitting and talking to Scotty, with little tidbits thrown in when he remembered them. These were the comments from his fans, bandmates, friends etc. There is some of his childhood covered, but most of the book is about his time on American Idol and how his life changed after he won. I love how down to earth he is. He is humble and always gives credit to his family, his friends, teachers, bandmates and of course to God. He recognizes that his singing is a gift from God and he will do nothing to sully that. His faith is strong and very much a part of his life and I enjoyed hearing about that. You really get to know Scotty and his family in this book. Even though he is only 22, he has a lot of experiences to share and you can learn a lot from this young man. I am not an American Idol watcher, but I did see Scotty McCreery in concert a couple of years ago and after reading this book, I would probably go again. If you or someone you know is a Scotty McCreery fan, I highly recommend this book. And if you aren't a fan, I suggest you read the book anyway as you may just become one. He is rather inspirational and you might learn something from this young man.
