Review: Beautiful memoir from a brilliant artist. Couldn't stop reading from the moment I started.
Review: Down With the System: A Memoir (Of Sorts) by Serj Tankian — wow. This one hits hard. Not just a band memoir. It’s a raw, eye-opening look at the Armenian Genocide and how it shaped Serj, his family, and so many others. Heavy, important, and impossible to ignore. The behind-the-songs stories were a highlight. You don’t need to be a SOAD fan to feel this book, but if you are? It hits even deeper. The honesty, the emotion behind the music, the fight to be heard — it made me love the band even more. I laughed. I got angry. I cried. Powerful. Necessary. Worth the read.
