Bruce by Peter Ames Carlin
3.0
Probably a 3+ book if you are a Springsteen fan. Some good info about the early days -- the more recent time period (unfortunately) reads more like a checklist or resume of Bruce's carer.
If you are not a fan, but just curious, then the book is maybe a 2. It could have used a better editor. A lot of redundancy in the text. Too many footnotes -- most should either be in the body copy or removed. Some odd choices in how and when people are introduced to the story. By the way, author Peter Carlin wants to be sure you know that he interviewed Clarence Clemons right before his stroke -- and he points it out many times.
