Perhaps the only negative on this book is that nearly all of its readers will be Springsteen fans. It deserves a much wider readership.
Although I am a long-time fan, the exploration of relationships (and family in all its forms), along with the frank discussion about mental illness and depression, are not only exceptional, but they leave the reader with plenty to contemplate long after closing the book. In my situation, I found many of his observations to be not only spot-on, but helpful in my own relationships as both a son and a father.
Incredibly thoughtful and well done.

Sad to report I really did not like this. The only reason I’m giving it two stars and not one is out of respect for The Boss.

I’ve read my fair share of rock musicians autobiographies over the years and this one was pretty darn good. I have to admit that I haven’t really heard much of his music outside of the Born in the USA album, but that’s about to change! This book was refreshingly honest, especially about his mental illness. It wasn’t just filled with sexual exploits and drug/alcohol use like most of the books I read. It also didn’t bore me with a lot of technical musical details. His writing is both full of heart, determination and honesty. All in all it was a great read and I can recommend it even if you are not technically a fan.
