The first 2/3 of this book is exhilarating, revealing and inspiring. If you are interested in Bruce Springsteen, rock and roll music, or maniacal struggle, it's essential reading.

The last 1/3 is a (relatively) smooth ride. Legendary rockstar status was unlocked and, compared to many of his peers, there was much less struggle (or interesting stories) about staying on top.

I suggest the audiobook version of this because Springsteen narrates it himself and his way of speaking (the NJ lingo) adds to the experience considerably.
