The author is a hard working musician and songwriter, and parts of this memoir read like poetry. The version I read was the audiobook, read by Bruce himself, with occasional songs and instrumentals. Recommended.

It's a really good autobiography, though it repeats at times and rambles in a few places. It is also long, especially the audiobook - that's a lot of Bruce. His story is a fine example of a strong work ethic leading to reward. He isn't afraid to point out his flaws either.

I have to compare this to the strongest autobiographies of musicians I've read - Harry Belafonte and Linda Ronstadt. They rank a shade higher than this book, but it has definitely earned a 4 star rating - I really liked it.
