The book consists of a selection of short stories and anecdotes, which Grohl likened to the songs on an album. ''The Storyteller'' was praised as upbeat and enjoyable, but criticized for being sparing on subjects such as Nirvana.

Several of these, such as being hit with a golf club as a child, are featured in the book.
