If you want insight into Neil Young, the man and the musician, you'll like this book. However, if you're looking for a book with a coherent narrative, look elsewhere. If you can bear with the rambling, you'll enjoy Young's stories... he gives you insights into his songwriting process, as well as the experiences along his musical journey. And as a local, I enjoyed reading his descriptions of his favorite Bay Area haunts. My least favorite aspect of the book? Young has an annoying habit of bringing something up, but then abruptly dropping it because he doesn't want to get into it. That's all fine and good; I respect a person's privacy, and they don't owe me anything. However--if you don't want to talk about it, why bring it up in the first place??? If you're interested in Neil Young, and want to read his words, but can't handle a non-linear narrative, check out his later book, "Special Deluxe."
