Críticas
"Why in God's name would anyone immerse themselves in the world of karaoke? Well, here's your answer--and it's a surprising trip out of some real darkness, set to a soundtrack of cheesy ballads, yelping rockers, and mangled standards. Turn Around Bright Eyes is an absolute treat."--Patton Oswalt, comedian, actor, and New York Times bestselling author of Zombie Spaceship Wasteland
"Rob Sheffield understands music's power to not only individuate ourselves, but to connect people to one another. His prose keeps such kind, sharp company. In Turn Around Bright Eyes he writes about what, and who, he loves without sentimentality. The world is a better place with Rob Sheffield."--Julie Klausner, comedian, host of the comedy podcast How Was Your Week and author of I Don't Care About Your Band
"Turn Around Bright Eyes is a touching homage to '99 Luftballoons' and other important chunks of our cultural heritage."--Gary Shteyngart, bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story and Absurdistan
"Romantic and addictive, Turn Around Bright Eyes is the most passionate and energetic performance. It could just be the funniest book ever written about music."--John Taylor, bassist of Duran Duran and New York Times bestselling author of In the Pleasure Groove
"Part love story, part ode to music by a lifelong fan...Sheffield doesn't just know about songs, he feels them and what they do to him, and his fervent writing--part disciple, part critic-makes you feel the music, too. His insights into music's importance for life and love are refreshing."--Booklist
"In Sheffield's hands, pop music is more than an object of cultural consumption--it becomes the language through which to navigate and negotiate his most intimate moments."--The Atlantic
"Sheffield explores the healing properties of the much-mocked, beloved karaoke culture. He turns the ridiculousness of the aural horror show into something noble and meaningful."--USA Today
"[What's] remarkable about Sheffield's new book is how deep he gets writing about how karaoke--bellowing pop songs to the accompaniment of canned backing tracks in front of supportive friends and drunken strangers--lifted him out of his existential gloom....He examines the healing power of communal singing."--Los Angeles Times
"Sheffield is fundamentally a gifted essayist."--Entertainment Weekly
"Sheffield comes across as an impressive storyteller, encyclopedic in his knowledge of both high and low culture and convincing in his presentation of loss and redemption through music."--Time Out New York
